I've got a seagate 300gb unit. bought it for a good price on e-bay in a nice nextstar3 aluminium case like this.

SCSI's over the top for home - SATA's good enough. 1Gb on CAT5 is good enough and fibre gives the same performance unless I went single mode. I can also look at parallel nic's to the switch to improve speed.Quote:

That one is identical to mine, but with mroe memory. it has been absolutely flawless!
Oh yeah, my remark was not meant to be too serious.Quote:

Doesn't matter, I just use Samba to share the NTFS partitioned SATA 120Gb data drive, across my little home plaything network.
And for portable storage, I use the before mentioned Omni USB unit.
I'm a pensioner, I understand price versus performance.:( or should that be :D
