Wow, that is a good price.
BestBuy also has all the other brands such as Maxtor and WD.
However, I was intrigued at finding a Seagate drive with the Barracuda name
attached to it.
This used to be a premium brand during the haydays of UW SCSI.
Was wondering where Seagate is these days in terms of quality.
My 9.1 gb UW Barracuda is still chugging away through several failures with
other drives.
It has been my startup disk for several years with zero problems.
