One of those old full size drives, sounds kind >of like a jet engine starting up. Ancient, ancient drives. Came out in something like '95. At the time they were about $4000 each which was about $.45/MB and the cheapest per MB drive you could find. $1/MB was normal at the time. ST410800 in case Kennedy wants the model number. Available in the N and W versions: ST410800N, ST410800W. Fast or Fast and Wide. No Ultra SCSI version available. It hardly matters since real performance of the drive mechanism is about 5 MB/s.
