Anyone know anything Maxtor XT3280S: 5.25" full height, 280MB unformatted, ~244MB formatted, 16ms. Best price I've seen before this: $1549. Sounds like a great deal, but do check whether there is a "catch" -- perhaps they are selling used or "refurbished" drives. Also, it is an old model, superceded by the XT4280S; perhaps they are being remaindered?
