is it really free or do they add shipping for the "free" floppy?

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

They add shipping which was $5.99.

Aren't the latest generation Seagates and MAxtors that are 400plus gigs pretty close to this in benchmarks? Isn't the 400gb WD pretty close to this in benchmarks?

BTW, not trying to thread crap, just wondering if the drive is worthwhile still, it's kinda old at this point.

Yeach check out AT's latest storage review
the Raptor's don't have much of an advantage considering the high cost per GB

Still hot tho!
