Waire Jr.) writes: I am looking to order a couple of external Quantum 105MB hard drives and was looking at Hard Drives International's POWERDRive. My question to the net is whether or not they are a reputable and reliable dealer. Their price of $399 is really low compared to all the other prices I have seen. Quantum is apparently having a "fire sale" on 105MB drives. All the drive shops are offering it for about that price. I don't know what this implies about the 105MB drive (why is Quantum unloading them?). Assuming that Hard Drives Int'l has a good warranty (whatever Quantum offers and maybe more), there's no reason not to go with them. -- ==== Scott Barvian ============ Department of Electrical/Computer Eng. === ==== barvian@ece.cmu.edu ====== Carnegie Mellon Univ., Pittsburgh, PA ===
