Now, if you don't mind refurbs, there are $65/$55 80mb drives and $69/$59 131mb drives. I've dealt with these folks before and they're righteous. Oh well, the $50 was a little optimistic, or maybe not if you're buying a bunch of 'em... ---Rob
I have a hard time calling IDE drives reliable. At one time I used them in firewalls, and every now and then, tripwire would report random changed bits on the disk, and then the next time I ran tripwire, the problem would just go away. Now I use low end SCSI drives for these kind of applications cause I prefer to have all my data parity checked. Rob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
