- I'm in the market for a new hard drive. The old 40MB on my IIcx is, (a)
- too small, and (b) having stiction problems. I'm looking for something
- in the 100MB range, and am wondering about relative prices (I'm in Canada,
- so I'll assume inflated exchange etc.) and reliability of various models.
- I'd probably prefer an internal drive, but exterbal SCSI devices interest me
- too. I want to know which brands and/or models you recommend, and bit
- about speeds and reliability.

- I like my Quantum 105 LPS. If I was buying today I'd get a 170 from
- Quantum. Quantum seems to be specializing in small drives. If I was
- getting a medium to large drive then I'd look for names like Maxtor
- or Seagate. I've had good luck with these on work machines. HP also
- makes some very fine drives.
