    Does this have an AGP slot?

    The rebate is through worldwiderebates - sounds like a rebate you can do everything right on and they'll still deny it.. no thanks.

    Update: Check out the comments on Newegg about worldwiderebates (below link)- apparently they suck - stick you on mailing lists and put you through all sorts of crap to even submit the rebate - screw that.

    Got my rebate in about 30 days, dock works great.

    Since this is only USB 2.0 though transferring 500GB worth of data takes a while. I have been using old "worthless" sata drives as floppy disks/archiving media.

    Only if it supports IDE too... those you can call old "worthless".

    #6 320 makes a good raid drive. They're cheap and three of four of them gives you 600-900 GB of redundant storage (raid 5, some GB's lost to overhead), which I think is pretty nice.

    Rebate is very bad, I will never do any more rebate with worldwiderebate. They deny me twice.

    Screw rebates and Zipzoomfly for using them. Rebates are sleazy. We need to start voting with our money. I'll buy somewhere else.

    product code on zzf site is ST0005U - that's the USB/eSATA version which makes this very tempting even without the rebate.

    This works well and really easy to swap drives.
