Fred, I have tested and continue to have good success with the Micropolis 1991 (Non-AV) 9 gig drive. It only deals moderately with the HQ-5 setting (performing well only if the drive is less than 75% full) but it handles up to 90% at "Standard" mode. Longest clip length I tried (at Standard mode) was about 22 minutes, and it handled it well. Best mail order pricing I have seen on the 1991 runs about $1950. That's over $600 less than the best price I can find on the Seagate. Quantum will be shipping their own 9 gig Atlas drives within the next 60 days or so, maybe sooner than later. It might be worth a try to contact Quantum to see if they will have those units out by the time you need to do your Seagate retrograde. Frank Frank
