Nice, I may need a new drive anyway, mines been getting SMART errors for the past few months and could die sometime soon (why wait if its getting smart errors? I like riding things until they die. And I mean ABUSE things till they die...Im not making making myself look good am I?)

just bought a 500GB WD 16mb with GCO 20 off. But I use that one for archive performance don'tmatter so much. This one with 32mb can serve as main drive. good price.

Gee, I wish a had a little more cash to throw around.
It would be great to finally get the storage I wanted set up.
I've only got a combined 1.5 Tb between my 3 computers.
But my 500Gb Drive is external USB and I don't trust it the rest are 3 - 320s and a 40.
Two 500Gb set up with a RAID 1 is what I want for my fileserver.

kinda sad, but Canada has had these on sale from 89.98 to 102.98 almost every week.
how come the states has PC components more expensive all of a sudden?

Looked nice with HDTach, but some of the tests.... eh...

I'll be sticking with my WD5000AAKS for $99 instead.

true that the CDN $ is at par with the USD...but we were close about 3 or 4 months ago too, and the US prices were still destroying ours. now it seems as we are finally not getting screwed up here
