Glenn,

Do yourself a favor and stay away from those "MiCRAPolis" drives.

They're known for not being reliable.  They went out of business for good
reason.  Buy yourself a Seagate or IBM.  They work.

I am looking to buy an ultra scsi hard drive for my home system.
I came across a few Micropolis drives in my search but wanted to
get some feedback. Does anyone have experience with Micropolis
drives? How is the warranty handled since they are out of business?

Also, does anyone have any experience with refurbished hard drives?
Is this a viable alternative? If so, could you provide the name of
a reputable vendor?

Thanks in advance.
