Fellow NeXTers:
I am one of the unfortunate slobs who bought a 105MB system and I am now
desperate for an upgrade HD. I am looking for suggestions on what some
good HDs are, and general info on what I should be looking for. Some HDs
currently under consideration are listed below. I need specs on these drives.
I would also like people to tell me whether they work on the NeXT and whether
these are good prices.
Quantum ProDr210S 210MB 15ms $740
Micropolis 1664-7 340MB 15ms $1229
Micropolis 1684-7 340MB 15ms $????
Micropolis 1558 338MB 16ms $1299
Maxtor XT-4380S 338MB ?ms $1235
Maxtor XT-8380S 360MB ?ms $1195
Maxtor XT-8702S 768MB ?ms $1570
Maxtor XT-8760S 768MB ?ms $1850
Fujitsu 2261S 410MB ?ms $1333
Fujitsu 2263S 778MB ?ms $1717
The data I am looking for is average seek time, average latency, syncronous
data transfer rate, and the asynchronous transfer rate (burst or sustained).
Other useful info is form factor, power requirements, and type of warranty.
Of course, if there is some official hard drive guide with all the details
printed, a pointer to that would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you all.
