That price does seem a bit on the steep side for a USED 170 >meg device. No? > First of all, I said I would like to get $1100, not that that is the only offer I would consider. Second of all, as of my last check the Quantum 210 does not exist as a shipping product (this was as of last week). Third of all, The Imprimis Wren V is a faster drive, as was stated in the original post. It is faster in a way that truely matters for fast machines -- it has a much higher transfer rate. This drive is going for $1100-1200 new, but without the custom mounting hardware. Micronet's price for this drive is still above $2,000. Now I don't think the mounting hardware is worth $800 but it is a very useful, and virtually impossible to find piece of hardware. As I said, I will certainly consider all reasonable offers.
