LOL 300TB. I got the 3TB for 79.99. Don't think it's worth waiting 2 hours in the cold. Can't feel my toes. |

are you posting from the year 2076 Obviously. Drives are larger, cheaper, and language has evolved to new levels of efficiency. |

kudos:3 | You got that right...... The 180 500 series for $159 is not bad but I was paying that for the 240 330 series and the 180 330 series was in the 109 range. I even picked up a 120 vertex 3 for $49. |

oops my bad. So those drives i was reading it's not a good access drive in other words you don't want it running all day. I'm going to use it for storing all my movies and TV in a media PC as just a storage drive and not the OS drive I take it thing should be ok for those needs.
My media PC runs pretty much all day. |

| It's a 3+ year old model so it's not going to set any speed records but it's a lot of space at a low price with a 3 year warranty so I think it's worthwhile. |

| I found a better 1 I think: »www.canadacomputers.com/product_···d=047838
Thoughts please! Greatly appreciate the feedback!
(I don't want 2 make the wrong buying decision!)
Mucho thanks in advance! :P!  !

kudos:2 | Great drive for a pretty good price. You can't go wrong with an Intel 330.
I've used 2 in the last month for builds and I'm loving the speed |

| Ya I don't know if I should hold out/off 4 a better deal or pull the trigger? >!
Cheers! |
