I read an ad in Micro Times, made by "Computer Surplus Store" (715 Sycamore Drive, Miltipas, CA) for som large SCSI disks. The ad reads

NEW 1/2H 5 1/4" CAST DRIVES

14406S 170MB SCSI      $700
14405S 140MB SCSI      $575

I thought the price is too cheap for a "new" drive. Did anybody have any
experience with this store or with this kind of drives? What is the seek time?
Are the drives, and, the shop, reliable?
