Yep, right after reading this, I got a call from Mike and was told
that they have about 40 drives coming in next week. I got mine
reserved and waiting for pickup.

I know that there are a lot of people out there like me that took
advantage of the BusinessLand sale to get an inexpensive 030 cube
without NeXT's inflated price for a big disk drive.  From all the
information gathering/shopping around I did this has been the best
$$$/megabyte that I could find (thanks to Chris Songer's previous post!)

Some things to note:

     - 5 yr warranty on the drive
     - 48 hour turnaround time on hardware failure (I guess they keep
       some in stock for replacement purposes only) from Fast Access.
     - the price on the drive is rock bottom.  I tried to get a
       quantity discount for a user group and some other people that
       purchased a diskless cube - no deal.
