- Hi folks,
-
- I'm in the market for a 200MB drive, and have pretty well narrowed my
- choices to either the APS Quantum 240 or the APS Maxtor 213. The
- March 1993 Macworld had a comparison test of drives in this size
- range, and from their tests the Maxtor is significantly slower than
- the Quantum.
-
- If you have either of these drives (external), I'd like to hear your
- impressions of them, from the point of view of speed, and noise. The
- report seems to indicate that both drives are fairly noisy. I'll be
- using this drive on a IIci.
-
- I'm also wondering about Club Mac. They were absent from the review.
- What do you think about their products? The prices seem competitive.
-
- Thanks for any comments (or other drive suggestions),
- Rich
