Thanks, but.... It looks like you bought all the 400 gig drives, you drive hoarders!!!!! outpost.com
I understand the rebate comments but I have had good luck with them in the past. I don't love waiting 3 months for the money but I also am not dying for it. I have a file folder in my desk that I keep all the copies, and I have been able to get circuit city and bestbuy to run me two *original* register receipts. I have never ordered online and then gotten a rebate. Thanks for the newegg and zipzoomfly links but that is a little more then I would expect to pay. circuit city has 300gig drives for 130 bucks It looks like outpost.com may have something but like I said somebody here hoarded all the 400 gig drives. I find it facinatinig how I used to think nobody in their right mind needs a 200 gig drive. Now that I have myth running I can't bring myself to buy a second drive under 300gig thanks for the help PS is it possible to create an LVM2 volume with data on one of the drives? thanks On 9/27/05, Mike Daugird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > are there any good sources for hard drives?

I have had good luck with outpost.com <http://outpost.com> lately, seagate 400gb drives with rebates ... Hope that helps -- John P.
