I was going to build a small file server and got the drives cheap but I've haven't got around to do that yet. SO they are being sold.

Scamtron

I'm not sure what the RPM's on this drive is I would have to guess 7200, but I can take a picture of the drive and you can look at the label.

Thank you

Its not that I can't read the drive label. If I couldn't read it I couldn't tell you that it’s a 30GB drive. The problem is it doesn't say weather or not it’s a 7200-RPM or 5400 drive. The reason I say I can take a pic is so that you can see the exact drive your going to get. Therefore making sure both parties knows whets going on.

Well, I believe that what has scamtron all lathered up is that IF you CAN read the label, then you can READ THE LABEL. It gives you such juicy tidbits as the MODEL NUMBER of the drive. I know, since I own some fairly new Maxtor drives and they ALL have model numbers on them.

Now, follow this: IF you can READ the LABEL and use the Internet, then you can visit Maxtor's web site and READ the specs. Of course, then you have write them down, and that might be your problem. If so, please consider useing this little program included in every copy of Windows. It's called NOTEPAD.EXE and, using it, you just have to TYPE the info into a file, using NOTEPAD.EXE. I assume you can type, since you are posting here.

If any of that seems unclear, let us know and we'll do our best to clarify matters. If all else fails, then just post the model number and WE'LL go look it up.

Have a nice day.

Wow, thanks for that really great tutorial on looking up a part #... Gee thanks man.

I'll post the part #'s when I get home, and I’ll let you look it up considering that was just way to confusing.

What can I say? I woke up on the wrong side of the mouse this morning and the total crap put out by that guy got me at the wrong time. Like we're going to believe that he's 'so busy' that he doesn't have time to look up the specs on the net. S***, if he was really going to use them to build a server, does he really want us to think he doesn't know what he bought? Those things are either (1) Hotter than J-Lo's butt or (2) So freakin' old that they must have been around since the 486 came out and he doesn't want to say so.

Oh, well, nuff said. Let's just ignore him...

Wow, i've seen a ton of crap on this forum but that right there is pure crap. btw I know what I bought they are 30GB maxtor HDD.

but its all the same the serial # is 11s19k1549Zj1c6100014g

Thank you

I just saw an advertisement froman unnamed computer store that was selling 30 GB MAxtors. COnsider the possibility that he may have bought them. Its not like there are a bunch of older computers up on blocks somewhere, missing their hardrives and hood ornament.

Oh, not impossible. My negative attitude was based on a guy selling drives that-

1) He doesn't know the drive specs, nor does he seem willing to mention where he bought them, though he says he was going to use them in building a server, which is not that common a thing and it takes a little technical expertise.

2) He 'can't find the time' to read a label on the drive and post the drive model number, but has plenty of time to post the ad and answer comments about his level of honesty and "expertise".

He may be as honest as the sun is bright, a fine fellow, and the smartest guy this side of Einstein, but he sure doesn't inspire MY confidence.

End Line

The place that I got the drives Is White Street Computers its a local computer shop. The reason I couldn't get you the serial was due to tha fact I was at work. And I dont bring the drivers everywhere I go.

btw where did I say I didn't have time to get you the serial #???

Its better to give the customer all the information, that way there is no "appearance" of inpropriety.

yeah I took the offer of $35 plus shipping. it came out to like $41 after shipping.

I'm not really looking get any more drives. but if I needed another 60GB I would probable take your offer.

Thank you.

howdy y'all, sorry for taking so long to get back to you on the drive, but the 30 maxtor was exactly what compdude said it was and he was very quick to ship after he got payment, in fact i bought a 6 gig hd off him and a p3 700 desktop, but that hasnt arrived yet, although it should be here anytime now. all in all a very positive thumbs up! thanks!

hey compdude, my system crashed, and im using this P.O.S P233 that just barely makes it on the web, my email is out and i cant get it back online yet, be a few days, do you have any more of the 30 gig maxtors?

im sorry i should have clarified one point, i didnt check the see what rpm the hd was, but it worked flawlessly and i couldnt really give 2 shakes of a rats a** what rpm it was anyway, it was used to build my mother in laws system and she just surfs the web and plays solitare on it anyway...but i get brownie points for it:)
