That's about average price, REALLY not worth it all considering that the 300GB drive is HALF the price.

I might sell all my drives and then use that one. Problem is how would you back up 400gb of data?

I have 8 - 200 gig hdd's in my entertainment pc now and they are all full. I think I will buy one of these a month for the next 8 months and replace the 200s. Then I can start burning all the dvds I purchased in the last 6 months since it filled up.

Uhh....
Oh.
Pretty sure I'd care about a 33% increase in price. And I'm considering a 300gb drive.

Ahwile back outpost had a deal for a 200gb seagate drive for I think $60 after a rebate. 2 of those plus a raid card for $60 or so and you have 400 gb for less than half the cost, at almost twice the speed. Get a third drive and have lvl 5 redundancy at still a much lower price than the single drive. It gets to a point where buying a single high capacity drive is foolish.

400GB is that point. Now you're running three hard drives, and a RAID card, this is just one SATA drive, plugs right in to the motherboard. 300GB are an excellent buy. I want two.

Raid card also plugs right into the motherboard. I dont' see your point. It greatly increases performance, is fully redundant, saves you $150, and you're telling me the single 400gb drive makes sense?
