- I've been using a Maxtor 7120A for a few months with no problems. Got it
- for around $300, but you need to check out what type your drive is (ie
- IDE, SCSI) because the 7120A is IDE. I think the 7120S is SCSI.
- Anyways, the 7120A can be formatted to 130 mb (with the right jumper
- settings) and can be had for less than $300 at some places. 15 ms access
- time and a 64kb buffer help to make it pretty fast, too.
