The Quantam Fireball Plus AS (which I believe you are referring to, seen <A HREF="http://www4.tomshardware.com/storage/01q1/010312/cebit-05.html" target="_new">here</A>), is a very nice drive. Fast, and also with FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearings, only on Fujitsu and Quantam drives currently, AFAIK). The only other question is reliability. Some people trust Quantam (and Maxtor, for that matter), some don't. It's up to you.
