[comp.periphs.scsi] Need advice on a 300 Meg.

ericz@ucscb.UCSC.EDU (Eric Zamost) (05/08/90)

     I just asked about the Miniscribe 9380S for $850.  Now I am
also considering a CDC-Imprimis 94171-307 (320M, 16.5ms, SCSI, FH)
for $900.  I think that the CDC is probably the better drive.
Both come with 1 year warranties.  The CDC supposedly has an MTBF
of 100,000 hours, and the Miniscribe has 50,000 (are these numbers
meaningful?)

Any comments?

Again, e-mail responses are best, as it is temporarily difficult for
me to read the net.
