Good.  I got a 277N about 8 months ago, and I like it.  It cost me
$435 for the drive from GVP...

>on the low end of $400-$500.  5 1/4" or 3 1/2" is not especially

I looked all through Computer Shopper, called many places, and got prices
on many drives.  When I was finished, I called GVP to find out if the
drive I was considering getting (the 277N) would work with the card I had
(the GVP 1MB/SCSI card).  The guy said that it would, and asked me if
I had a price on them.  I told him that I found one for $435, and he
said they could match that price, and ship it that day (COD).  I got
it about a week later.  I'm not dissatisfied...
