go for it! drop the bucks. unless its not in the original packaging, of course. looks like a steal. probably should get two at that price. you know that you will never be able to fill them up. :roflol: :roflol:

It sure shows how prices have dropped. The performance/price ratio has changed a bit over the last 30 years. :cool2:

10 mb is a lot more than it sounds. You could store a whole default size limit email from Outlook.

Don't laugh. I still have my first 10mb MFM hard drive (full height 5 1/4").
It still works and still contains data from circa 1986 when I used it with an Atari 8bit using a MIO and Adaptec 4070 MFM to SCSI controller.
As I recall, I paid around $2000 for this beast.

About 10 years ago I finally threw away my first drive. An 8 inch floppy disc. There were no hard drives then. It was pre DOS and Windows. CPM machine. Early 80's.

You should get an adapter and covert your old drive to be a portable harddrive.
