Actually the best $/MB listed in the MacWorld article goes to a 300MB
drive from AB products (actually I can't remember the name, that was
a wild guess, and is almost certainly wrong), which also has around
an 18ms avg access time, and runs a little over $8 a megabyte ($2500
for the drive).  Great deal!  Of course, it is an external drive.
(I'm waiting for the half hight, 1GB drive from vapor systems :-))
