Good Lord, an ST-412. I remember having one of those in my PC, way back when, around 1987. It was a loaner, and I bought my own ST-225 to replace it with twice as much storage in half the physical space.
The ST-412 was 10MB, and the one I had borrowed had the unpleasant habit of dropping sectors. The sector would write OK, but after a while it would go bad and fail to read. And the drive took five minutes to spin up in that PC, because it pulled four amps from the +12V rail when coming up to speed, and the PSU could only barely cope with that. At the time, I lived in the US, and I scoured Computer Shopper for the replacement. Being a student, I had a limited budget, and I found the cheapest supplier only three miles from home. "I'd like one of these. I'm in the next town, can I come over and collect the drive?" "Of course." |
