A local vendor wants $1900 for a 200 MB *or* 380 MB drive (with power supply and enclosure). The department's budget won't stretch that far, so I was wondering if anyone had recently bought a reasonable SCSI disk for about $1500 or so.

Here is a small and (more or less) random sampling of drives larger than 300 MB for less than $2000, taken from the ad pages of the MacWeek issue for 4/9/91: Wren 337MB external $1199 Frog Systems Inc. (800) 654-FROG Fujitsu 357MB internal $1298 Fujitsu 680MB internal $1698 Mac Direct 60 E. Chestnut 145 Chicago, IL 60611 (800) 621-8461 Wren 300MB internal $1199 Wren 600MB internal $1599 Relax technology 3101 Whipple Road Union City, CA. 94587 (415) 471-6112 Wren 337MB external $1395 Wren 613MB external $1749 Wholesale 54 520 S. 52nd St. Ste. 204 Tempe, AZ 85281 (602) 350-1191 These are all SCSI drives. I don't know for certain that any of them will work with the NeXT, but so far, with 5 different kinds of SCSI drives I have managed to get all of them to work with my cube. I also have no relationship with any of the above companies; not even as a customer.

Go FAST ACCESS! (708-530-4206) Here's there prices! Note: all prices are w/o drive enclosures. A 2drive enclosure will run ya $263 from them. Fuji 415MB $1160 (compare to the 300MB's! Wow!) Fuji 778MB $1398 ($238 more for 300MB more? Can't beat that!) Fuji 1.2GB $2150 (the cheapest I've seen for a 1.2GB otherwise is $600 more) If there is someplace that can beat these prices, I'd LOVE to know! Personally, I'm getting the 1.2GB. It's fast, huge, and CHEAP! -k

It's fast, huge, and CHEAP! Connor Peripherals is readying release of an entire line of SCSI products. There will be a 500 Meg drive for around $1,100 U.S. (suggested) and also a 200 Meg Drive for around $500 U.S. (suggested). These drives are all 3.5" in size. I've seen the product sheets and they compare well with any of the others out there. I certainly like the pricing... I guess we'll see the drive distributors hacking away at the salable price soon enough. -- Dave Carlton (davidc@ziebmef.mef.org!white.toronto.edu) "There's more than one way to skin a cat", Lydia thought, as she nailed the little paws to the dissection board...
