compusa is dumping hard drives left and right... this has the potential to be really, really hot -- too bad Staples doesn't carry this drive for PM

What's the actual storage space on a 250gig drive, 200gbs, if that?

 

[ianbergman]

250, I'd imagine...

WD Special Edition 250GB, 7200RPM, Internal EIDE Hard Drive

Looks very good...but damn mail-in rebates. Plus, add that to how CompUSA has handled the whole PS2 Network Adaptor + Everquest situation and I think I will steer clear.

Maybe a PM to Circuit City or something works? What other big dogs carry this WD 250GB? Man I wish Staples would...I want PMs to AR prices on WD kit!

And if you learned to turn down all the high percentage usage features of windows, you'd see a bigger HDD. Read that as "system restore size, recycle bin size, et cetera".
