I hate this forum!
2 systems here, one with a 80GB Seagate from a deal a year or so ago (when I loved AT)

and one with a dying
IBM 60GXP warranty replacement (I hate IBM too haha). After watching this forum a while and not seeing much
for hard drive deals, I walked into a local Fry's for a $39.99 after rebate 40 gig Western Digital HD for the 2nd
system. I walked out with a $220 - $100 MIR 180GB SE drive for the main system... 3yr warranty, ATA100 controller
card in the box... $149 or so after tax..
THEN I check back here, to see the current deals. Doh! Did I really need another 180 gigs? probably not. Is 120 gig
a lot? yes! is it enough? sure. Is $76 (or $86) less money than $149? yes! Price per gig is about the same, and I've
not used a WD drive in a few years... never used a 8 meg cache drive. Might be kinda cool. 3 year warranty is good.

Have phone and credit card handy for call to Staples... what to do.. what to do... grrrr
