They show as four type 6717 model 074 drives (looks like > about 6GB capacity) and one type 6717 model 070 (8GB). The last time we bought drives (for our 170 which, after a crash, we upgraded to full mirroring), we bought 'em on eBay. And the last time I changed out drives on our 40S (not rocket science, either), I just pulled drives out of the same "parts donor" box we use when we need to fix our 520, and (after a whole long thread on this very list about whether or not they're compatible) remounted them. Speaking of which, since that "donor box" gives us spare drives to burn, every machine we have that's ever lost a drive is on full mirroring. Unfortunately, those drives are too small in capacity, and too large in bulk, to use on our 170. -- JHHL
