I almost clicked. Then I realized I already have 3 terabytes of HD space.

5400 rpm = no thanks

^ unless you're running your OS off the drive, i can't imagine there's much you'd be doing where the 7200rpm would perform noticeably better (and if it's going to be in an external enclosure via USB, it won't make any difference whatsoever)

for $68 dollar bucks, it'll perform admirably as yet another storage unit

unless, of course, they don't honor the purchase, because they "sold out" pretty quickly...i've been down that road before

yeah the SD thread mentioned people buying 5-10 at a time. Probably get canceled.

Is the link some kind of trap or something?
