Has anyone had any good/bad dealings with Hard Drives International? The reason I am asking is that they have an ad in the latest issue of MacWorld for a 60 mb Seagate hard drive for $589. This seems a little too good to be true, so I thought I'd see if anyone has had dealings with this company or its products. Thanks in advance!

Leave BGSU alone! Against my better judgement, I went and ordered a drive from them without ever hearing of them before, since I saw their ads in three magazines (MacWorld, MacUser and BYTE). They seemed very nice, told me that the drive I was ordering (a 45 Mb MiniScribe drive, I don't trust Seagate) was backordered for two weeks, and they can take my order now and send it out when they're ready. They have a customer service number that you can call to check on the status of your order, and I paid by credit card so I could stop payment if they charged me before the drive came. All in all, they seem legit; I think they did OEM work on IBM-type SCSI drives to make them with a Mac. Add power supplies, cases, etc. --- Alex {ihnp4,backbones}!ucbvax!qal.berkeley.edu!lauac

I haven't had any mail order dealings with them, since they are just down the street. But I have purchased several drives over the counter from them, and am completely satisfied so far with the price and support. They are apparently doing so well they have outgrown their original office space and are currently in the process of moving. Last Monday I went to pick up a drive and they had everything packed up, floor to ceiling, in massive boxes. They are probably back to normal operations by now in their new location. -Fred -- # Fred Fish, 1835 E. Belmont Drive, Tempe, AZ 85284, USA # 1-602-491-0048 asuvax!{nud,mcdphx}!estinc!fnf

I bought a Seagate ST-277R from them this summer. All was well and their price was the lowest anywhere. -Roger

I bought a Seagate ST-277N from them last fall. All is well, and their price was five dollars higher than the lowest. Stan Armstrong.
