My oldest hard disk is a 5MB (yes MB!!) Seagate 5.25" 1" height drive. Runs fine - sounds like a small jet and needs manually parking, but it's still going after 20 years!
I can't beat that, but I do have a couple of 40MB Quantum ProDrives that I bought for my Amiga 500+ back in...er...94 I think. 2.5MB/s drive transfer speed, 3MB/s off the enormous 8KB buffer, and a nice clunking sound whenever they spun down. I put one in my B&W a few years ago to hold my web browser caches, but the thing was so slow to spin up it actually seemed to be quicker to not use a cache at all!
They're still around here somewhere...I don't like throwing things away :-) Neil -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
