I just won a brand new ROCK 160GB portable drive ($52 + $10 s/h) last
night. I'll use it to swap out my sister's computer files while I
reformat the disk.
Then I'll use it with Acronis True Image to keep whole disk-image
backups of my own drive.



I just picked up a Hitachi DeskStar 500 gig IDE (refurb, as new with
warranty) for $35 and am building a box to do nothing but storage,
using a mix of scsi and ide drives.

My Stack O Disks is getting very long in the tooth and those (5) 40
gig drives are starting to drop out..old HP stakOdisks

I've been drooling on the 1 and 1.5 T (ohmygolly!) drives.
Prices are coming down slowly.

My 320 Gig was only $69 - Thanksgiving Special - for which I
give thanks!
