Once the buy.com $30 off $150 coupon comes back out, the Deskstar 75GXP 45 gig will be $130, kind of sweet.

-that's what I'm waiting on

If you get it use it as a storage drive. tahst what i do. I use the 75gx 7200rpm version for my installs so they load fast. But to hold mp3's, vcd's and what bot its kick ass.

and the slower the drive is... the less heat it makes = last longer. and you want that for a backup drive.

For those of you who get screwed in Cali by tax, you might want to consider this place:

I've never bought from them, but I was going to. Don't bother trying to get it at the B&M stores though, they don't seem to honor their web price. Not sure how much it would come with shipping, but $107 isn't too shabby.
