[comp.sys.mac.system] Wholesale 54 Quantum 105s

dsiebert@icaen.uiowa.edu (Doug Siebert) (06/30/91)

I'm finally going to get around to buying a hard drive for my Mac Plus and
since my cash is limited right now, I was figuring on going with the best "bang
for the buck" alternative, which seems to be the Wholesale 54 Quantum Pro 105s,
which can be had for $389 in external configuration.  My question to the net is
what experience others have had with this company in terms of service,
friendliness, quality, etc.  I know this firm was discussed a few months ago
but not many people had too much experience with them then.  I'm hoping that
because of their low prices a few people have taken the plunge and bought from
them and I can benefit from their experience.

Specifically I'd like to know what purchasers thought of the quality of the
external case/power supply/SCSI connection supplied by WH 54, and the quality
of the formatting software included (as far as ease of use, does it do hard
partitioning, etc.)  And finally how people would rate their overall
satisfaction with the company.  Would they buy again from them or spend the
extra dollars to go to a firm like Allied Peripheral Systems, which seems to be
one of the net's favorites for cheap Mac hard drives.  Oh, and if anyone was
dissatisfied and tried to return their product, was WH 54 nice about it or did
they make returning merchandise a pain?

Thanks for any and all help I can get!  I'll summarize for the net when the
responses start to dwindle...
