I bought it at Best Buy off Lyndale (or was it Ridgedale...). Its performes great even though it takes 6-12 hours to fill it over the network. :) My linux file server is now up to 200GB I have to gloat: hdb is the 80gig...all the IDE's are maxtor. md0 is 3 9.1gig 7200RPM seagates (linear) and sdd is a fujitsu 18gig 7200RPM): /dev/hda1 256667 127831 115584 53% / /dev/hda4 9669472 6233168 2945120 68% /home /dev/hda3 2071416 1520840 445352 78% /usr /dev/hdd1 29978112 24123416 5854696 81% /home/shared /dev/hdc1 39995656 38133960 1861696 96% /home/mp3 /dev/md0 26623860 22828944 3794916 86% /home/mp3/128Kb /dev/hdb1 79991492 78656968 1334524 99% /home/divx /dev/sdd1 17830116 16499148 1330968 93% /home/divx/temp I used to buy on line for drives when i was at school and best buy was quite a drive. But now the $20 I'd save isnt worth dealing with online stores. If i get home and its DOA i take it back and I still have a working drive the same day. If its DOA though the mail guess whos picking up the shipping charge to send it back...not them. I tend to buy on line for stuff where i save a lot of money or just cant find it locally for a good amount. Just picked up a chapo DVD drive at best buy yesterday for $99 to rip DVD's. Works awsome (for once I didnt get screwed buying a noname brand).
