Recommend a SCSI drive?

[TeeJayHoward]

I'm looking for an 80-pin, 73GB 1" drive between $200 and $250. Recommendations?

So far, it's between the following drives:
Fujitsu MAT3073NC
Fujitsu MAP3735NC
Hitachi Ultrastar 10K300
Maxtor Atlas 10K V 8D073J0
Seagate Cheetah 10K.7 ST373207LC (Kinda outside my budget. Worth it?)

Right now, I'm leaning towards the MAT. My MAU's been nothing but good to me, and T is later on in the alphabet than P, so it must be better, right? Unfortunately, StorageReview only seems to review the $1000 drives, so I can't compare these.

Correct that the MAT is newer than the MAP. The MAT has 73GB platters, while the MAP uses two 36.7GB units to achieve the 73GB capacity. The 10K V and 10k.7 are of the same generation as MAT, 10K IV the same as MAP and 10K.6.

The Maxtor and Fujitsu drives are roughly equal in performance (when comapred within generations), with Seagate trailing. The MAT and 10K V are both capable of outperforming the Raptor on the Desktop. If you consider any less, just get a Raptor instead and have simplified connectivity.

MAT it is, then! (Gotta fill up that enclosure! The empty space is killing me!)
