Fry's Outpost.com again offers the Maxtor DiamondMax 200GB
IDE Hard Drive, model no. L01P200, for $69.99. That matches
our last mention as the lowest price we've seen for this
drive without rebate hassles. Add around $6 for shipping.
This drive features an 8MB cache and runs at 7200 rpm.

I saw that in the sale paper this morning. Not going to miss it, this
time around. I'm going tomorrow morning to pick one up.

My husband and I were just saying that one of the worst things about moving
away from Atlanta was not having a Fry's just down the road.

And Joy. If you go external remember these three words FireWire,
FireWire, FireWire.

So people have been telling me, especially those who are primarily Mac
users. Is it because it's faster than USB, or more Mac-friendly, or more
versatile, or does it work better in series?

IMO I think that a external firewire drive enclosure and the Maxtor 200Gb drive would be your best bet. It will allow you to use the full 200Gb (minus capacity to format) and can be used on other systems that have a firewire connection.

I'm not sure about a MickyMouseSoft system, I think that they format a drive different than a Mac. I know that their format used to result in a format that had a FAT32 (file allocation table) which kept track of which sectors and all of the pointers to those sectors. Among other items.

The Maxtor drive is available at http://Outpost.com
