However, I purchased the one advertised a while back at $995 and am quite satisfied with it. I was less than pleased with the company itself, though-- Great Lakes Computer Peripherals took a ridiculously long time to process my order, and when the drive finally arrived (several *months* after I ordered it) I had to travel from Waterloo to Toronto to pick it up because the shipping order was confused. However, the price was extremely good and everything worked as advertised. Note, however, that their name and their price have changed. The drive that was selling for $995 is now $1495 (I suspect they had been losing money on the lower-priced one) and is being sold through Pegasys (sic), a division of Great Lakes Computer Peripherals. Their driver was written by Tall Tree Systems, though it went through enough mods on the part of GLCP that Tall Tree disavows any responsibility for the code. I bought Tall Tree's "Windrive" package and am planning to reconstruct the changes GLCP made. Anyway (to answer your question) the less expensive drives seem to work okay. --Bernie Roehl
