> Newbury (Maxtor mechanism) 380 MEG formatted to 320 MEG. > 28 ms access time Saiid, is this one of the 3380s we bought about a year ago for $1,100 when Newbury went out of business in this country? most everyone had heat-problems with these drives, including me (mine is currently refusing to cooperate with any consistency). I just decided to buy a Maxtor 4380, which is equivalent to the Newbury 4380 (which I also bought one copy of last year) and which while not of the latest technology, the 4380 is at least one generation more recent than the 3380 and gives me the same 380/320meg but at 18msec.... The 4380s, while just as noisy and heavy, seem to be very reliable, and the special price I got the Maxtor at was only $1,100... given that pretty soon there will be noone providing maintenance for the Newbury, I sure feel sorry for whoever runs into problems with one of those (including me, the owner of 2 of 'em). oh, if you get 2 requests for your drive, tell the second one that I'm willing to let go of my 3380 even for a little under $1,000, given that I don't trust it a whole lot ...

I have no idea what you have done with your drives and how you have treated them, but that does not mean every one of them is bad. My friend and I bought two of them and for the past year have not had any problems whatsoever. Sure, I had problem with mine in the beginning since my Mac + would refuse to boot from it, but I soon found out that was a cable problem and now the Mac + boots from it just as any other Mac. The drive I am selling is not a piece of hacked together hardware forced to work with questionable software. It is an elegant combination of drive, powerful power supply, sufficient cooling, and of course, formatting and partitioning software that make it all happen. And yes, I will give a one year written warranty to the person who buys it from me. During this year, if anything at all goes wrong with the drive, I will have it fixed at my own expense.

re: concerning this wonderful Newbury 3380 that Saiid wants to sell "real cheap" ..... it may be worth your while to consider the following: CSC, corporate systems center, in Sunnyvale, 408-737-7312, a pretty stable-looking wholesale-var-oriented liquidator, has acquired the ch 11 miniscribe 9380s in mass quantity. They are offering one-year warranty themselves, and the price is: 1 1095 5+ 995 50+ 895 100+ "call". They are also selling them fully fit into nice-looking tall 0-footprint cases (fan?) for $1295 each. The say 1990 production. I have no interest in or further knowledge about CSC. -- --------------------------> please send REPLIES to <------------------------ INTERNET: werner@cs.utexas.edu or: werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu (Internet # 128.83.144.1) UUCP: ...<well-connected-site>!cs.utexas.edu!werner
