Re: OT - Possibly the oldest hard drive in service
Let me guess. It is installed into somebody's "cold-war bomb shelter" and it controls the circuits that operate the bathroom light/fan interface. Right?

$280 for 6GB. They saw you coming.... somehow.

I have a 480 GB model, and 6G is the speed, not the size... 92x faster than a regular hard drive.

You got me beat, I've got a 486DX4/100 with a Maxtor 335 meg in it - still runs, still ahs the BBS on it. I use it as a printer stand but every once in a while I fire it up!
Re: OT - Possibly the oldest hard drive in service
Frank those drives are awesome, we had an 8 proc server with a bank of about 8 of those in it configured in a raid 10 and it would take about 20 seconds to boot into WIndows 2008 R2 Server.
Re: OT - Possibly the oldest hard drive in service
Frank, is it a noticeable difference? I was thinking about buying one for one of my macbooks and it would be nice to hear about some real world experience.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Yasherka</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Ah the memories. Bought my first HDD in 1991. It was an 80MB SCSI which I thought I would never fill up. Cost me $700.
Ouch. </div></div>
My first ever was a 10 Megabyte MFM drive, it was the size of a shoe box.
It worked though!
I went to an IDE drive shortly after that, 40mb - which I still have in a box ....hasn't powered up since 1994
