Well, I know there's been tons of discussion on harddrives dying
lately, so I figured I'd add too it! :-)
My ST251 died (no, not stiction, it died while I was compiling ) and
I would like to buy a new drive ( I'm going to get this thing fixed, most
likely, but I want to replace it too ) so I thought I'd ask you people
the question:
- where? Where can I get a reasonable price on a midsized ( 40-80 M)
SCSI _fast_ hard drive? No more of this ADAPTEC4000+ST506-type
crap - tooooooo ssslllllooooowwwww ....
I know someone was also selling some huge Maxtor ( I think ) drives a while
ago - got any more? :-)
What's the best I can get in the 1000-1500 (Canadian) price range?
Thanx very much,
Blair

I'm afraid not... There was someone out there who bought the last
couple of hundred out from under me... Look for them to start showing up
(At a much higher price than I had... :-( ) soon through the mail order
places. In the mean time, I'm looking for another deal.
