Not to add to the slam but if you are looking for multiple drives rather than one big one (and to maintain an apples to apples comparision) these Western Digital 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0 drives are only 64.99 with free shipping. Thats 2 brand new drives with 40 extra GB for 130$, a 20$ savings off the listing price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136098 Its a shame but hard drives loose their value quickly as cheaper, faster, bigger, better keeps going on the market. --j On 7/25/08, Mike Miller <mbmiller at taxa.epi.umn.edu> wrote: > On Fri, 25 Jul 2008, TCLUG Classifieds wrote: > > > New TCLUG Classified Ad > > > > Category: Computer > > > > Type of Ad: For Sale > > > > Subject: Two 300 GB SATA drives > > > > Two used hard drives, 1 each: > > > > Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6V300F0 300GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s > > Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L300S0 300GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s > > > > Both pulled from a working system but I make no warranty as hard drives > > can fail. > > > > $150 CASH ONLY for the pair. > > > Why would someone buy those drives at that price?
