Have to buy some hard drives for a non-profit children's clinic. If you
know anything particularly good or bad about these drives or prices,
We would appreciate a heads up. All have three year warranties from the
date of manufacture:

Fujitsu MHT2020AT 20 GB ATA-6 4200 RPM $ 69
Hitachi Travelstar E7K60 60 GB ATA-6 7200 RPM 8 MB Buffer $184
Hitachi Travelstar E7K60 40 GB ATA-6 7200 RPM 8 MB Buffer $134
Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 40 GB ATA-6 5400 RPM $ 88
IBM Hitachi Travelstar 7K60 60 GB ATA-6 7200 RPM $179
IBM Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 60 GB ATA-6 5400 RPM $126
Samsung Spinpoint M MPO402H 40 GB ATA-7 5400 RPM $ 87
Seagate Momentus ST94011A 50 GB ATA-6 5400 RPM $ 97
Toshiba MK6026GAX 60 GB ATA-6 5400 RPM $130
Toshiba MK6022GAX 60 Gb ATA-5 5400 RPM $132

I know a couple of model numbers are suspect.

These are ZipZoomFly with free second day air. Reliability and
performance are my main concerns.
