Prices are reasonable, too.

Cool. It wasn't clear whether they tested the drives between drops. I
think they did....

This reminds me of the fun we had at Maxtor. Except we were playing
with 5.5" full height drives. No cases, though. But you could hear it
hit the floor down the hall.

Of course, the ultimate was the Shuttle drop tests with Enterprise at
Edwards AFB. :-)
