Since I'm currently looking to replace the INTERNAL hard drive in my SE with a higher capacity unit, I find this somewhat disconcerting. So, the question: What to buy, if anything? I'm looking for something in the 60MB range, quiet, fast, and cheap (mutually exclusive, right?). I was thinking about the 45MB from Ehman ($449), but that's a little small. Is there any company that's currently recommended? How about GCC? Appreciate any help, Rich p.s. e-mail if you like, I'll summarize. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>| mcntsh::long | "This is me." /~~) /~~ / | long@mcntsh.enet.dec.com | "...guess you wouldn't /~~\ /__ /__ | ...!decwrl!mcntsh.enet.dec.com!long | lie to me about a Richard C.
