Interesting. I ordered the QULT540S and a WD2540A, both bare drives,
at the same time from Insight (Hard Drives International). The clerk
told me on the phone that the Western Digital Caviar would come with
mounting frame kit & dual ide cable, and that the Quantum would come
>without< the dual SCSI cable. So, I ordered a 50 pin dual SCSI
cable at the same time.
Well, the package arrived a few days ago and *>both<* *>bare drive
kits<* included mounting rail kits complete with bezels, extra
jumpers & screws and dual cables. It's a good thing the extra cable
was only $3…hardly worth sending back or making a fuss over. Oh
yeah, complete professionally prepared installation manual from
Insight for both drives (er, uh, except that the SCSI Hard Drive
Installation Guide does not include my particular drive
model…that's okay since Quantum's telephone number was provided and
their automated technical service does and includes all jumper
settings, etc.).
