Fry's Electronics had a special on the 1.5 TB version for $59.99. The 2 TB version is now selling for $99.99. With W-D soon to take over Hitachi's HD business unit, it looks like I will be buying all Seagate for the foreseeable future, with a few purchases of Samsung Spinrites, which have been very good to me (after a mandatory drive firmware update for cache pollution). As I run mainly Hackintoshes, I tend to use external USB 2.0 drives as so-called EBDs (emergency boot drives), in cases of emergency, but those have been surprisingly few ... perhaps once in the last several years. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
