Moreno,

You don't give up, do you?

And comparing prices for a VW and a school bus are also equally as
valid...to someone, I guess.

The drives I mentioned were not surplus and remainder products.  You're
being silly again.  They were easily available, entirely mainstream
products.

What reputation is that?  Asking you facts, and questioning misinformation?
Sorry if that offends you, but I don't like misinformation, and your claim
was pure misinformation.

Well, it is YOU who came up with a comparison of two exceptions...a cheap
LARGE IDE drive with an expensive SMALL SCSI drive.

It's not really a discussion, so I really don't want to continue it past
this, thanks.  I've made my points, and the facts speak for themselves.
Others have chimed in and told you that your comparison was really not valid
also, yet you continue to defend it.
