    Surprised/Amazed

    Check this Seagate drive out.

    Look at all the prices and then look at Foxtec. That price looks very suspicious for a hdd that size and speed. I might buy this instead of the 10k rpm Western Digital if its real.

    Heres another one even cheaper on the site.

    That just can't be right.

    Has to be scam, they're just trying to attract you to their site, and then when you try to order it the site will read out of stock...jeez I wonder why.

    From what I read, there is a good chance that this "new drive" will arrive with someone else's data already on it.
    Plan for the worst, hope for the best

    Wow, every single review posted about Foxtec is "Very Dissatisfied".

    I don't think I've ever encountered a merchant that had 100% negative feedback. I'd steer clear of them.

    PriceGrabber's user reviews has them rated 4.13 of 5 - all time.

    EPinions only has one review.

    Before anyone even considers drives like that, they should check the interface

    Ultra SCSI 320

    and then check out the price of a compatible controller card.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
