Do you have a link to the actual drive? I'd love to get a Hitachi. Barry, I found Western Digital and Samsung on Newegg but not a Seagate...at least not one with larger capacity. Can you point me at the Seagate? Would you prefer Seagate or Western Digital? Ron
From: Barry Watzman on 28 Nov 2009 19:08 I was not looking at size at all, I only wanted to see what brands of 2.5" IDE drives they were still offering. As to WD vs. Seagate ... no particular preference. ron wrote: > > Barry, I found Western Digital and Samsung on Newegg but not a > Seagate...at least not one with larger capacity.

Nothing besides WD in 320G on this site, and it is out of stock ... -- John Doue |
