equill, I suspect like all Apple hard drives, they introduced them with the most affordable technology as soon as they could and continued to upgraded them as larger drives became available and affordable within their profit margin. Here's an 850MB version:

The HDSC 20,40, 80 & 160 MB models were sold through 1989, but the M2115 case design is post Snow White, so the switch must have been in the 90s when the Classic was introduced. I wonder if they continued to sell the SC series as low cost alternatives to the LaCie. Also, there is a huge jump between storage of the 160MB SC series and the 850MB LaCie series. Could there have been larger drive versions of the SC series and even smaller drive versions of the LaCie? Or did the LaCie drives mark the jump to "professional" HDs for serious power users (and accompanying price tags)?
