[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] HD-prices abroad.

torf@alpha.tih.no (Tor Erlend F{gri) (05/05/91)

Hello all!

I need a bigger HD for my 286-PC. Currently I'm using a Conner 40MB drive
with IDE-interface. I would like a drive of about 150-250 megs, and I would
also like to reuse my old controller (If it doesn't degrade performance).
What is the price of such drives in the UK and US? Is it safe to mail-order 
such delicate electronics as a harddive? Any experience?

Here in Norway we have to pay $1000++ for such a drive, I have heard it's 
much less abroad.

Any comments welcome!
Sincerly Tor-Erlend Faegri.
