This is OK, but I think I saw some 1tb deals for $100 last week?

Paid this price for a 160gb gateway 2.5" a year ago yesterday. Drive failed 5 days before the warranty expired. Gateway dragged their feet so they wouldn't have to replace it!

I've had full size (3.5") SimpleTech external HDD's before and I can say one thing with certainty, StorageSync software blows!

#3, thanks for the heads up (even though I already bought one for my wife). Can you (or anyone else) give me some details as to why it sucks? Thanks!
