I have found myself in need of a bigger hard drive and I am considering the
Maxtor 7213A IDE Drive (213 MB, 15ms). I've noticed that several dealers
in this month's Computer Shopper Magazine are offering it at a discounted
price ($459 at DC Computers). Also the London Drugs Computer Department here
in Edmonton has it on sale. I'm curious why Maxtor is slashing the price
on this particular drive. Is there something unreliable about it??

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad with this particular drive??

BTW, I have a 386-25 clone, and I intend to run the new drive with my old
40 MB IDE, and both floppy drives.

Thanks, in advance, for your time.
