$134.00 isn't bad for those drives.

I bought a pair of similar Quantum Viking 4.5GB ultra-wide SCA-2 drives
that Computer Geeks auctioned off on OnSale.com last July for $159.00
each.

Note that there's a current auction on OnSale of 89 units of brand new
IBM UltraStar 3.5" 4.5GB 7200 RPM ultra-wide SCS drives ending tomorrow
AM for $134.00 each too.

I'd personally go for the IBM drives over the Seagates -- they're much
more reliable and they'll still be under full warranty!  ;-)

Of course there's an even better deal there, but only 9 units, so don't
bid it up too high!  ;-)

For older systems there are 68 units of 4.3GB Seagate Barracuda's
currently at $69.00:
