thanks for the help
You're looking for a HDD and 80 gigs is enough yet you post a link to the best deal you can find and it's 300 gigs? :blink:
80 ≠ 300 :no:

This is a good guide. I used it awhile back.

I would go with this 80GB Seagate w/ 8MB buffer

Well he did say 80+ gigs. I think its a better idea to buy a larger HD like the 300 gig. Cheaper for the gig.
The best rule is you can never have a big enough Hard drive go for the biggest you can afford you'll be surprised how quick you fill it:)
yup bigger e better e more e merrier
300gig is good but ur gona have a hard time backing it up and cataloging the files in it:).
going for that 80gig myself $54 is pretty cheap to. 300gig looks tempting tho, that's a helluva lotta stuff you can hold.
80gb for $65??? that isn't a good price AT ALL anymore. it might have been a good price several months ago, but not now.Quote:

office depot is practically giving away 100gb drives at $20 (see the "rebate savings": $99.99 - $40 - $40 = $19.99).

anybody interested in it should move quickly 'cause the rebates are only valid on purchases made between 9/25/05 and 10/01/05, to customers within the 48 mainland states. supposedly maxtor exhausted their supply of 100gb drives, so some people have received 120gb drives in boxes labelled "100gb."
