Sad News - GeekLucanis - 09-27-2019
I tried contacting Jeff Joplin (acronymsystems) yesterday, I was notified by his wife this morning that he had passed away rather unexpectedly on Sept 14th.

I found out the same way. I was wondering why he had no listings on ebay as I was looking to purchase another drive from him. So I emailed Acronym and got a response from his Wife. This is really sad. I have purchased numerous drives from him for all my systems mostly because they are good, very quiet SCSI HDs that are all configured to your system and options. Never had a single issue with anything from him. His service was top rate and fast. I consider this as a big loss to our community.
