I recently purchased (2) refurbished 73GB 1.6" SCA drives from  
Computer Giants. No affiliation, etc. but I'd buy from them again.  
The drives I bought came with 1 year warranties, but it looks like  
they're offering 90 day warranties for their refurbished drives now.  
Anyway, the drives were in like-new condition and they've been  
chugging away in my 711 for a couple of months now.
