Yeah, thats a good price, but personally I dont like maxtors. They have the after WD the highest fall-out rate (did I spell this correctly?)
At the moment Hitachi and Seagate are the most reliable drives.
I can hardly find Maxtor drives at the computer shops around here. So i'm stuck with Seagate or Western Digital. I hate ordering HDs over the net. The lastone I got the box had been curnched up. Don't want to chance the drive getting smashed lol. If it would get smashed then I would have to fight UPS and the company I bought it from. Oh and last time I bought a seagate was from tigerdirect and the damn thing had bad sectors. I called them wanting to return it for a new one and they said it's seagates problems and not theres. I called seagate and they said it was tigerdirect's problem. This went back and forth for 2 hours untill I told tigerdirect if they didn't replace it then I would send it back and void the payment. They sent me a new drive.

I believe, correct me on this Roger, that it goes:
WesternDigital->Segate->Maxtor (Maxtor being the best, WD being the worst)
Data lifegaurd is the only bad thing, but thats optional.
The only software you will ever need is Partition Magic and the little OEM BIOS Override software if you ever get a PC with outdated BIOS.
If you do it wrong (less than 5% chance) you can render your BIOS chip useless.
I've seen
160G $60
200G $100
300G $150
400G $200
Of course SATA costs more, that's ATA IDE. 250G SATA $180
Of course these are rebated deals, but still it's so cheap.
LOL you got a point there, just dont tell them its fragile
