    Seems to be a good deal? The price of external hard drive is plunging like any other IT products. I remember I bought a 500GB Cavalry at the same price just one year ago. It works good so far.

    I just got one in the mail today from Buy.com. Bummer that the price has gone up though.. the one I received was only $113.99 shipped (without any stinkin' rebate!)

    Seems to be working fine!

    Hmm.. from the info on the rebate, I may be able to get some $$$ back on this! That's pretty damn sweet!

    I wouldn't buy an external drive these days unless it has both a USB and an SATA interface. E-SATA ports are pretty common on new machines and make an external drive much more usable.

    #4, these are fine, if you want to just use it for backup. They're plenty fast (I have one) even if they're IDE, but I don't know if they're IDE or SATA... who cares? It's 1TB and it'll last a long time. Works great.
