are there any good sources for hard drives? I am recording at 2 gib/hr mpeg2
from my pvr 350 and I have been very happy with the way it has been working so

formatted was 233gig.
It doesn't look like I am in need of a high performance drive, 10 Mbytes/sec
looks like top end traffic.
are there any secret sources for large capacity drives?
I have been watching the sunday paper and that is how I got my 250 gig drive.
I checked newegg refurbished and they had a 300g but it was Sata.
thanks for your time and have a good day
Mike (all),
i don't know if you're still in the market for a new drive, but Fry's
currently has a 300GB Seagate (IDE) on sale for $99.00. it does
require a rebate.

There deal webpages out there listing prices for products. I check
http://www.edealinfo.com They categorize the deals as well, making it
easier to find what you want. There's also http://www.slickdeals.com
If you know what you want, check www.pricewatch.com and
froogle.google.com
As far as the Seagate drive, check out it's reliability first.
I've read quite a few negative reports from users. That is a pretty
good price for that drive, though. That seems to be good advice for any
of these new, cheap, very high capacity drives. The reliability just
isn't there.
