They have a 60gb maxtor hd at bestbuy for $70 after a $35 mail-in rebate. If you feel like waiting for the rebate to get back, go for it.

Newegg has the 40GB WDSE (8mb cache) for ~$80 shipped, if that helps.

If you want it I can give you the link to get a Western Digital WD1000JB Retail for $129. They have a reseller rating of 10 for the last six months and 9.66 lifetime total. Might as well pay the $49 more and get 60 gigs more.

If you;re still looking, my local BB had a 40GB Maxtor, 7200RPM ATA133 2MB cache, for $60- no rebates or any of that junk. Cheap, fast storage- I grabbed two

well, if these computers are networked..setup raid 0 on the one computer, and just set aside a folder for network storage, for the 6.4gb equipped computer to use, mho though, I'd rather concentrate on "ability" of one system, than spread it amongst a couple.
