People might tell you not to get this kind of drives 'cause it draws from
the floppy port ( power ).  But TMS and LRO both now ships theirs with external
power supply.  So don't worry in this part.

Another concern is heat problem; because these cases are small, not vented, and
no fan.  But if the mechansim happens to be these new low profile/low power
drives, it should be fine too.

TMS may provide good service/support, but their proces are not the cheapest.
Look in MacWeek/User/World to check out the prices.  You'll get a better
deal most of the time.  Since you already own a drive now, I asuume you know
what to look for.  ( just SCSI drives )
