Message-ID: <1991May16.164749.15928@casbah.acns.nwu.edu> Date: 16 May 91 16:47:49 GMT Sender: news@casbah.acns.nwu.edu (Mr. News) Reply-To: phil@eecs.nwu.edu (William LeFebvre) Organization: Northwestern University Lines: 17 Nntp-Posting-Host: pex.eecs.nwu.edu It is time for us to buy a hard drive (finally!). What is the current net-wisdom on hard drives and controllers for the 2000? Anything to avoid? Is there a clear choice? I have looked at GVP II and it looks good on paper, but the price is high (compared to other alternatives). I'd like a drive in the 80-100 MB range. Fast transfer speed is not vital, but is a consideration. You may e-mail responses to me and I will summarize.
