    Hmmm...Better watch out...sgogeta4 claims that a 500GB for 89.99 is a "terrible deal" and that his gf got a Western Digital 750GB for 99.99,. which he also claims is a terrible deal.

    Wonder what he would say about a 320GB for 112.99.

    This thing does look sweet. About the same size as my Toshiba 320GB drives that have been awesome.

    Note, this is for a 2.5 drive, not the 3.5 external.

    3.5 drives tend to be cheaper.

    Yah, I know. I was just proving a point on deliberate threadcrapping.

    Personally, I'd go for this deal if I didn't already have like 10 of the Toshiba 320gb drives. :)

    I'm not threadcrapping, I'm just saying there have been lots of better deals posted.

    It's interesting that you never seem to come up with any proof to back up your assertions.

    You couldn't even answer from which store your gf got the WD 750GB for 99 bucks and change.

    Things are moving really fast on hard drives...true.

    That 120Gb wouldn't get me very far. I carry at least two 320GB portables when I am on the road (in addition to the 250GB internal).
