Chuck- The 535 is an internal drive, if memory serves. Stay away from
that puppy like the plague. It is *not* MPC compliant without an upgrade
that may or may not wreak havok in your system, depending on whether your
existing hardware conflicts with it.
For $430 or so you can get a Texel 3024 drive (not sure if it interfaces
with the SBPro, but I suspect it may). This drive transfers at double
speed (like the NEC Intersect, but far cheaper), or around 300KB/sec and
has an access time of 260ms.
You'd be a lot happier with that drive than the Sony…guaranteed.
