I like how they say they have $400M in assets and can outlive the service life of the unit.

Hah. But hey - at least their name is still around today...

Edit: Also noticed "as low as $599": I'm pretty sure that's for 50MB *yawn*. I'm sure it might be possible (?) to shoehorn another 3.5" HDD inside a Compact. Run a custom SCSI cable out through a small hole in the case to hook into the SCSI port. I wonder if this gadget has a pass-through SCSI port? Probably has to, and there's probably a switch on the underside for termination on/off.

Notice the switch and power cable pass-through on the unit. If you had your Compact up against the wall on a desk (a frequent arrangement) then this would not be for you. If the height of the HD20sc offended the owner, they could just relocate the unit to inside a drawer or under the desk. Or just cut out the footprint of the desk where the Compact lives (sure you want it there? :lol: ) and support it so there is a depression where the Compact sits.
