Looks like a pretty decent drive, it wont win any speed competitions but that not its purpose.
These prices are ridiculous...
I know I'm a little behind the times but "One and a half thousand Gigabytes" for $140, that is insane!
I'm not trying to gum up this thread but I'm not even that old (20) and I remember 5-10 Gigabytes being the norm...
Obviously time has moved on, programs have become bigger, media has become much higher quality, etc. but it still amazes even me.
I wonder what some people (non-computer people) think when they see Terabyte drives.
Its hard for some people to comprehend a single picture or a single word digitized in byte form, I can just imagine how googly eyed they wuld get when you say you can put approximately 300,000 pictures on a 1TB drive.

I also looked at these on the Egg yesterday, but after reading some of the reviews regarding dead drives or quickly failing drives, I'm a little leary

Sell it!
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

Great drive! You get 1.36TB once formatted, still an amazing amount of space on one drive. I recommend it.
