- I'm looking to buy an external hard drive for my LC in the 200Mb range.
- I'll probably buy it from APS unless someone out there has a better
- vendor. I initially asked about the Quantum ELS 170 which goes for
- $429. The salesman however recommended the Maxtor 213 for $469. He
- also said the Maxtor is slightly faster and quieter. Both have two
- year warrantees and are - according to the salesman - low power, half
- height drives that I could use internally in my LC if later desired.
- Any recommendations? I have had good experiences with quantum in the
- past but know little about Maxtor. Any problems / experiences?
-
- Thanks for any help...
