Nah he meant these

i dont trust search...

Not really worth it unless you need space and don't have the option of lots of smaller harddrives.
See here: http://www.lonyo.co.uk/HDD.htm for a quick look I did at various capacities and costs per GB.
Best to buy 250GB driuves instead, unless you need the space/capacity, but I would assume larger drives for home users are going to be for storage and not so much constant use, so being 5~10% faster than other hard drives isn't necessary in the home really.

I'm definitely upgrading to it.. and i'm glad theres still support for PATA..

I got a old PE 350 celeron 700 file server, have 40gb left out of 200gb.. Having 750 in raid 1 would hold me over for a good 1-2 years and maybe more !

But I definitely want the price to drop.. to like where you can buy 2 drives for 500..

Oof, $465 is 62 cents per gigabyte...so tempting...ooh!

 

[milleron]

Is 62¢/GB great? I just bought a 400GB Seagate PATA (16MB cache) at Best Buy for US$159 -- 40¢/KB. Unless you're speaking tongue-in-cheek, why is $465 for a 750 GB drive so tempting?

Comparitively it's not that great, but take a step back...I remember paying like $150 for my 40 gig just a few years ago...750gb for less than $500 is amazing!

looks like AT search simply doesnt work

tried 7200.10, 750GB, Seagate 750GB etc. - nothing

bleh, shoulda known it would already be posted

EdiT:
$499 @ newegg now
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148134

(which is $35 MORE than link given by Ms. Ribbon, and $465 is ~$55 less than price of just a few days ago. Coming down quickly)

when the market floods, ie wd, maxtor (seagate), hitachi comes out with 700/750 or larger.. the price will drop fast..
