Huh? The boxes you're talking about must be different than the 6 Altos
boxes I have that meet the same dimensions... they only weigh 55 or 60
pounds each.

(OB disclaimer: my standard for "heavy enough that I don't want to lift
it too often" is a DG 6045 drive or a DEC RA80 drive, about 140-150 pounds.
I used to be a puny weakling until I started collecting old computers and
drives...)
