I finally got Maxtor pinned down on what they can do for pricing
on the Maxtor XT-3280S and XT3380S hard disk drives. Since I got such
good response from the batch of new-but-no-longer-in-warranty 3280's,
I was able to get good pricing from them. Here's what it boils down to...
A Maxtor XT-3280S (280M unformatted, 230M formatted) will sell for $1150.
A Maxtor XT-3380S (380M unformatted, 300M formatted) will sell for $1300.
These are new drives, direct from Maxtor, and they come with the full
six month warranty. I'll ship anywhere in the continental US for free
and charge only what it ends up costing me to ship outside the US.
Here are the specs on the drives;
XT-3280S XT-3380S
CapacityUF 286.86M 383.72M
Capacity F 244.41M 319.61M
SCSI Buss 1.5MBytes/sec 1.5MBytes/sec
Sustained Data 870K/sec 1.2MBytes/sec
Ave. Seek 30ms 27ms
Sec/track 26/25 34/33
MTBF 20,000POH 20,000POH
Design Life 5 years 5 years
For more info, leave me mail. To order one (or more) drive(s),
send a check or money order (no cash!) to:

So far, I know of people who're using these drives with the Supra,
Microbotics, GVP and Commodore SCSI controllers. Supra (and possibly
Microbotics) are the only ones that have low level format routines fully
implemented.
