- Hello,
-
- I have tested both of them, the 1.2GB ( formatted as 1.06 BG ) is not
- so good and the 760 MB ( formated as 650 MB ) is not bad. But there are
- BIG noise when access them.
-
- The price is in Taiwan is 1106 US$ for the 1.2 GB. I have heard that
- the company that manufactor this brand of disk is closed and now we
- see are the stocks they have. Maybe no warranty ...., So you need to
- take care when you buy them.
-
- FYI ...
