    i remember when I refused to buy a HDD that was more than $1/GB. I guess that still exists with removable media.

    If you can spend the extra $15, the 640GB WD Black drive would be worth it, with a 5-year warranty instead of a 3-year, and approximately the same price/GB.

    It wasn't that long ago #1, seems like right around the time that 7200 RPM drives were introduced a 20-40GB was still ~ $100... though a couple years later we were seeing them $30-$50 after rebate with a free set of luggage or mini TV, etc. constantly from the office superstores.
