#Par Hard Drives
8 messages in this thread
Brick,
I Work For Media Management in Atlanta GA and we have a slight problem.
It seems there are no more Micropolis drives. None of our distributors seem to
have any. Who might we obtain Large IDE Drives from?

P.S. We are a dealer for the PAR Not end users.

I just bought a Micropolis 2217A from MegaHaus for $813 delivered.
I purchased the same drive from MH two weeks ago for only $750. I hope hard
drives keeps dropping in price this fast! This past year has been great!

I also was able to buy a 2217A from Megahaus. Hard Drives Int'l didn't have
any more and said that Micropols was discontinuing the 2217A model. I hope
that DPS comes up with some new drives which will work with the PAR as the
2217A had the largest capacity on the list. Megahaus is at (713) 333-1910.
Good Luck!

Conner has 1.2 Gig drives that are compatible, Tenex Data still has 1.7 Gig
Micropolis drives also. I can look around for you some as well. Give me a
call in the office on Wednesday next week and I will try and help you out.

Which 1.2 Gig drives from conner specifically. We are a Par-dealer and we have
the same problem: our distributor can't deliver any Micropolis drives on the
PAR approved list as we have it.
Are there more drives added to the PAR-compatible list ?

Fremer,
What is PAR compatible? I have a friend that needs some advice on a 1 gig+
drive.
Thanks,
Mark
Far as I know: there used to be two Micropolis drives, but we can't get them
anymore.
The new Conner 1.2 Gb drives seem to added to the list of PAR-compatible
drives, but rumour says there are less speedy when filled above 30 percent.
These drives are -very- fast when used as normal enhanced IDE drives. We manage
to get about 3.5 Mbytes / sec from this baby !
