I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I never trusted MacMemory ....

I have since learnt that the Rodime has built-in troubles ....
if you hook more than one Rodime together you get several confused Rodimes that
don't know to understand different SCSI-addresses ...

also the R. doesn't have hardware head-parking ...

this is second-hand from a very Mac-active friend;  I understand that they
take the drives back if you complain soon enough, but I feel sorry for the
folks that discover the problem a couple of months/weeks down the road ...

if a deal sounds too good, it probably is ....
