Question: "several drives": do you mean the exact SAME drive-model, etc, as I'd bought last year? Well, I'd already noticed that Amazon had some -- but seemed to me that they were all USED ones. Not quite what I want. My real questions is: were you guys to buy one *today*, what *brand*, and model, would you get for the company you work for? Thanks

I got several hits. Since *I* have no use for such a thing, I merely reported the availability of such drives. I neglected to inquire if they were new or used. If you need these drives and no other make/model can be substituted, you are going to have to take what you can get! If you are very lucky, the drives may still be manufactured and you can buy one off the shelf. If you are less lucky, you are going to have to buy used drives and hope! If you expect to need drives for this application for many years, now might be a good time to buy supplies sufficient to last for many years! The world moves on and few people are willing to support antiques! |
