Has DS/DD 5.25 and 800k 3.3". I got a big box of "NEW" Memorex DSDD for less than eBay prices and haven't found a dead one yet... though once in a while I come across a package that has to "air out" for a few minutes before they can be successfully formatted (not sure, but since they're sealed it may be due to the relative change in humidity when the plastic is removed).
Also check the non-Apple sections on eBay... sometimes you'll see boxes of a thousand disks going for the cost of shipping -- if they're listed outside of Vintage Apple they seem to go a lot cheaper.
