    I like to go to the big box stores with my 4GB thumb drive and download a few gigabytes from new HDDs then take them home and install them on my home PC.

    That's how I grew my 36GB Raptors to 74GB.

    Now you know my secret.

    Well... Locally I can get:

    Seagate 300GB 8MB Cache: $129.99
    3.5" USB2 HardDrive enclosure: $39.99

    Total: $169.98
    Plus taxes of course.

    In fact, I put one together last week. Not for me but for a friend.

    Hey, new update. I send an email a day ago asking one of there tech support representative and here is the reply that i got.

    "Windows will use the space to reserve in hidden for security issue. that is the reason why takes up to 18GB missed."

    Is it really true or just some randomness bs to convince their customer?

    That's not "random BS"....it's very deliberate and focused BS.

    There's a difference.

    It might have been. I've seen them for less than $150.

    No idea. I stick with one beaver. It's expensive enough.
