Message-ID: <CDK3An.5s3@latcs1.lat.oz.au> From: wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au (M.C. Wong) Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1993 15:35:10 GMT Organization: Comp Sci, La Trobe Uni, Australia Lines: 21 Hi, I am wondering what are the most reliable brands (from the following) of large capacity (>= 1GB) HDD to choose from. IBM, Micropolis, Conner, Quantum. I have spoken to many vendors, and each of them recommand different brands, but with IBM and Conner the better favourites. How about Micropolis ? I am thinking of getting a used Micropolis HDD for some reasonable price, and it's only 1 year old, with 3 more years of warranty left. The model is 2210 (1247 MBytes unformatted, 1050 MBytes formatted). Has anyon used this drive before ? Is it reliable ? From the spec. it sure sounds impressive, but I haven't used Micropolis before, and I really like to get some advices and feedback from people who use Micropolis before! Email replies please! Thanks in advance! - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au (M.C Wong) -- - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au
