[comp.sys.next] Hard Drive Prices?

lange@lanai.cs.ucla.edu (Trent Lange) (04/06/91)

I've read in various places here that people were able to find 600MB +
drives for around $1300 or so, but I haven't been able to find such
a low price in normal advertisements (lowest I've seen is about $1650
in MacWeek).  Does anybody know about such low-priced beasts?

And a second, related question:  how much have people been able to sell
their internal 105MB drives for?

Thanks for the info,

- Trent Lange

Several people (including me) have bought Fujitsu 2263SA's from Fast
Access in Elmhurst, Ill.  I get the impression that it's a really
small outfit with low overhead, so they can sell disks with just a
small markup.

Current price on a 2263SA (770 MB unformatted, ~660 MB formatted)
is $1,413.  Shipping is about $15.

You want to talk to Mal Steadman.  Their # is 1-708-530-7749
