I don't know about the Baltic countries, but in Norway, large IBM SCSI drives cost much less than equivalent Quantum or Seagate drives. Example (from Tech Computers in Oslo): UltraStar 9ZXS 9,1 GB DDRS-39110W 6.3ms, 1024kB, 10000 rpm, UW-SCSI 6.650,- 8.180,- Cheetah 9.1 GB ST19101W 8ms, 512kB, 10000 rpm, UW-SCSI 7.290,- 8.967,- The IBM drive is not only cheaper, but faster too. (the first price is without sales tax, the second is with tax) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - dag-erli@ifi.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
