-
- I have no experience with the M261x drives, especially the new M2617
- and M2618. I *have* run two (now only one left) M2624SA's. These
- are very good drives. Some have been reported emetting a high-pitched
- noise. Mine didn't; they were (are) quite quiet :-)
-
- The M262x's are higher capacity than the M2618, and faster. They
- also cost a lot more money, the M2622FA (330MB) almost double
- the price of the M2618SA (210MB).
