I don't have a bad experience. I bought a fast 40-meg drive
for one of our deans a few months ago and have had no problems
with it so far. Of course, the test of the company is what they
do if there are problems, but I'm not hoping to find out about
that soon.

That price sounds very low. I paid more than that for the
40-meg drive. Have you confirmed the price with the vendor?
