RE: BCC Technologies Disk Drives

["Admin AS400" <as400admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry, Art - thanks for your ideas. Concerning the trade-in deal that BCC
proposes to many customers, it's not our case. Still, that trade-in is a
commercial effort to gain market and has nothing to do with HDW values.

There *ARE* happy BCC clients on the AS/400, but they might run non-critical
boxes. I'd like to gather more information, I'm looking for *real life*
experiences. Still, Larry's story about his BCC customer looks like a SCARY
MOVIE...



Waiting other opinions,

Is this the deal where they will take your IBM drives and replace them with
twice as many BCC drives for no cost?  That deal indicates to me that your
used IBM drives are worth more than their new drives.  What does that mean
to you?

Does anyone have any experience with the BCC TECHNOLOGIES internal disk
drives on the AS/400? These are genuine IBM disks (platters & casing), the
rest (ctrl system , electronics) are BCC, marketed since 1989 for the
AS/400.
