Hi,

ISN (Internet Shopping Network) is selling a 4.3GB External Fast & Wide
SCSI-2 drive for $799.99 and a 2.25GB SCSI-2 drive for $449.99. Both
claim to be 7200 rpm drives. The catch here is the 4.3GB drive is from a
company called Relax while the 2.5GB drive is from Sequel.

My guess is these are OEM drives as the prices seem low for drives of such
specifications. (The 4.3GB drive claims 8.5 seek time, 1024KB buffer, 7200
rpm and A/V compliance.) There was no warrenty information.

Has anyone heard of these companies? If so, please let me know if this is a
risk worth taking.

Thanks,

Evan Cheng
