Many informative and well-witten reviews at AMUG

A site perhaps overlooked by most, amug.org (Arizona Macintosh User’s Group) releases a steady stream of detailed and informative reviews covering the Macintosh and many of the available storage products available for it, particularly external storage devices, such as SATA enclosures.  Unlike the fluff reviews you’ll find in most major rags, the AMUG reviews give the lowdown on speed, noise, power usage, quality, etc—all the things you should know before making a purchase, with helpful photos as well. Look for the “Recent Reviews” blurb to the right.  Recent reviews include the PowerMac Quad, the MaxConnect CPU Bay Drive Assembly, the FirmTek SeriTek 1EVE4 SATA Host Adapter, and a comparison of the Seagate 300GB/16MB St3300631AS vs the Maxtor MaxLine III 7V300F0 hard drives.   I highly recommend joining AMUG.  The membership price will easily be repaid by the informative material and discounts on excellent products from Wiebetech and FirmTek (so far this year).
