December 15, 200718 yr Thoughts? I'm thinking that portability will not be much of an issue, so a powered one will be fine. It will be primarily a backup, but perhaps I'd store some extra music and pictures in it that I do not need 24/7 access to.

Depending on your intake, you can look at 500Gig for near 100 dollars. The unit I picked up a little bit ago was a 500Gig Buffalo Linkstation. You can try online searches or Fry's. 500 Gig USB Hard Drives Things to look for, SATA over PATA. 16mb cache. Edited December 15, 200718 yr by southsideirish71
December 20, 200718 yr http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?...338540894115504 This was a slickdeal Tex, but it went out of stock fast. Maybe you can find a local one that has it in stock...I'm not sure if they'll honor their online price though.

December 21, 200718 yr QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 20, 2007 -> 10:14 AM) Hey southside, where can you get SCSI drives cheap? This is a hard find. SCSI always is a much higher price. We run Dell for all of our server based equipment. In warranty we keep with Dell, when it goes out of warranty we just google and see who has the best price that week. We see if we can get a Seagate, Hitachi, or Western Digital for cheap. Tiger direct, Tech for Less, are some places to look. Even with SAS drives out, SCSI is still expensive. Try to avoid the refurbished drives. That is just asking for trouble. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...s=scsi&mnf= http://review.zdnet.com/hard-drives/hard-d...lShoppingView=1
December 21, 200718 yr I'll need to get some SCSI drives. I just picked up a "new" (used) server that I will probably co-locate... if it's good when I get it up, it's probably the new home for ST. If it's a dog, it's part fodder for e-bay.
