For me, the link leads to a Wikipedia article on Bromine! Just too funny. (There is a <br in the link, which I think gets googled on, leading to Wikipedia.)
Or, add the 320 GB portable WD drive for $100 + a filler, and use a $30/$150. WD: http://www.Staples.com/office/supplies/p13__244334_10051_Business_Supplies
method said:Not so good reviews on NewEgg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822144244 I agree with those bad reviews. Stay away from Maxtor to avoid future headaches. I had two drive and both of them died soon after 1 year. I would not keep them even if I get FAR.
Nice price...just like memory prices drive costs are dropping with the low demand and weak economy....memory prices are forecast to continue to drop at least thru Xmas...expect even better bargains for both this holiday season with sales the weakest in 24 years.
thanks OP. last time i bought it for $57.73 AR (after tax and filler and cpn). called to adjust price and got $21.48 back. $36.25 for 500gb hd can't beat that. Wish i bought more . i jumped on two this time for $83.51, surprisingly didn't have to add filler and coupon went through just fine. ~$120 for 3 HDs. thanks again
These are ALL rebadged Seagate drives now. These ones should be either 7200.10 or .11. If you bought one a year or more ago there's a chance you got a 7200.9 or .8. There were known problems with the .9 (I think). Check the label on the top of the drive, bottom left or right corner should show 7200.x and you'll know.
