For those of you who are suffering from a chronic shortage of hard disk
capacity, as well as other interested parties, I would like to announce
what may be the "deal" of the week.
Newbury Data, manufacturer of Newbury Hard Disk Drives, is in the process
of liquidating their current inventory of hard disks. I am informed that
the company is withdrawing from the U.S. market due to the unprofitable
nature of the hard disk business at this time.
I discovered this during my search for a high capacity drive at a
reasonable price, and was directed by an associate to Mike Montgomery of
Newbury Data.
After talking with Mr. Montgomery, it became clear that Newbury desired
to part with their inventory in a most expeditious manner, and as such I
inquired as to whether or not Newbury Data would be willing to deal with
individual customers in order to liquidate their stock.
Mr. Montgomery replied in the affirmative, that they would indeed be
willing to do so, and as such I suggested to him that I post this
article. To that end, the following is a list of the drives in stock and
the price for each:
MODEL # CAPACITY ACCESS INTERFACE PRICE
NDR340 50 mb. 39 ms. ST506 $ 395.00
NDR1085 85 mb. 26 ms. ST506 $ 595.00
NDR1140 140 mb. 25 ms. ST506 $1095.00
NDR2190 190 mb. 28 ms. ST506 $1095.00
NDR3170 170 mb. 28 ms. SCSI $ 895.00
NDR3280 280 mb. 28 ms. SCSI $ 995.00
NDR3380 380 mb. 28 ms. SCSI $1095.00
NDR4175s 175 mb. 19 ms. SCSI $ 995.00
NDR4380s 380 mb. 19 ms. SCSI $1395.00
NDR4175 175 mb. 28 ms. ESDI $ 895.00
NDR4380 380 mb. 28 ms. ESDI $1095.00
NDR4175e 175 mb. 19 ms. ESDI $ 995.00
NDR4380e 380 mb. 19 ms. ESDI $1395.00
Terms are COD.
The drives are new and come with a 12 month factory warranty.
The drives may be serviced, either in or out of warranty, by Daisy Disk,
Corp. which is located in Salisbury, MA. and which also maintains a
field office in Los Angeles, Ca.
According to Mr. Montgomery, the availablity on these drives is limited
to those in stock, and it is first come first serve, no back orders will
be taken.
Parties interested are requested to call Mr. Mike Montgomery, Newbury
Data, at 213 370-0775, and state that you are calling in response to the
article posted on usenet.
Please Note: I have NO connection whatsoever with Newbury Data, so
please NO FLAMES. I am posting this only because it is a d**mned good
deal for anyone wanting a good drive at a truly decent price.
BTW, I have been using a NDR1140 for over two years here without any
problems running it with an RLL controller (210 mb.). And I bought one
of the NDR3380's this afternoon for my own use.
One final note, the capacities of the drives is UNFORMATED CAPACITY.
