Hey man, I believe you and I appreciate the posting. If you see another one, just buy the damned thing and email me; I'll be at your door with cash in hand the next day.
As long as its a Seagate or Hitachi - I don't like the Maxtors anymore. |

This time I got it - though I held back and only ordered one... thanks for checking it out, I have to admit I figured "out of stock" was a permanent condition. |

Why did you jump on it? Did you think that price wouldn't occur again? Or do you need a 500GB drive now?

I always need more storage, for backups if nothing else. A 500 GB drive (especially an ATA drive) will keep me going for quite awhile.
Hell, when I consider that one of my backup boxes only has 1TB on board, a 500 GB drive for this price is a deal I can't pass up! |

must be backing up everything, I know the feeling, I have so much stuff I don't even need, but one day you never know....
Not to mention if you need backups for test systems, customers, music, video, redundant backup..... |

Actually, it's simply 3TB of porno.
Heh heh heh - just kidding - a lot of video, a lot of music, backups galore, some test systems (Cisco servers, mostly)... only about 1TB of porn. |

I used to be anal about backing up (no pun intended). Now I burn everything off, mostly digital pics and music, and make two copies. I'm religious though about backing up my financial and docs to Zips and another PC. I couldn't imagine losing any of that! |

I've got it and I'm burning it in right now. So far it is quiet and cool... which means that I'm either happy with it, or it died and I haven't noticed yet. |

I have to say, it is a very quiet and cool-running drive. |

I have a terabyte of back up and haven't used it all. Though the movies have filled one 500Gig drive. |
