- I've been looking for a 1 Gig or larger drive for my NeXTStation. Thus, it
- must be: SCSI,3.5,HH,and over 1 Gig. To narrow my search, I went to
- clari.streetprice and searched for the necessary parameters. This is what I
- got as of 11/6:

- Now, these are only internal drives, which is what I want since I don't want
- an extra box to lug around whenever I move, and since I don't have a drive
- in my Station at the moment, I've got a free bay to put it in. (Don't ask,
- it's a long story)
- MY POINT: Is the Micropolis a good drive? Has anybody in NeXTLand had any
- experience with it as an internal drive? Heat problems? Media problems? I
- hate Seagate, and I haven't heard anything about the Toshiba, but I am open
- to suggestions if you have. It basically boils down to the Micropolis or
- the Toshiba due to price. Which to choose?
-
- Thanks in advance.
