Has anyone gotten a double-speed drive yet, and if so, what are your
experiences. I'd appreciate knowing the name of drive and approximate
street price as well. I need some but don't know where to start.
Thanks.
Paul,
I went whole-hog (for a client <g>) and had them buy a Pioneer DRM-604X,
which is a 6 disc, QUAD-speed changer. The thing is awesome – I've clocked
it at 588KB/sec, spec says it will do 612KB/sec max.
This makes it nearly as fast as my IDE drive. If I disable SmartDrv, its
much faster than the IDE.
If you're doing development, the ability to have the MS Developer Network
CD, MS C/C++ 7.0, Borland C++, WinNT, etc. on line without caddy changes is
great!
List price is $1795, street price is in the $1300-1370 range. This week I
will be trying it out with WinNT…
Regards, Mark
