Just looked at an ad for Fry's and Electronics and saw a good deal on some internal and external HDD's.All i have had is Maxtor hard drives and they proven to be very reliable. I have had mine for 5 years now, but will be getting a back up drive so this old one can breathe. Anyways at Fry's they have Maxtor Serial ATA/300 Internal Drive 500 GIG for only $80.00. The externals by the same brand go for ten dollars more and have the same amount of space. Looks like a really good deal. I also saw some Seagates too but those went for more.
