I don't like Seagate now since 2 of them (500gb) failed on me within 2 years, while my old dependable 60GB Maxtor is still running smart. I guess technology of year 2000 was superior than technological improvements of 2009.
Looks like they can't even give these Seagate lemons away!!!
this is about the current price for 1tb drives. Giving it away would be like dropping it down to about 30/40 bucks

^ It is very unusual for a year 2000 Maxtor 60GB to still be running unless it sat unused a large portion of the period between then and now.
great deal!
