    If you get one, be sure to run it through the complete full diagnostic including media scan. IBM/Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test will work with non IBM/Hitachi drives and includes an "Exerciser" that I would run a couple times, too. If everything checks out then the drive -should- be fine until you replace it with a 1 or 2 TB drive in 18 months. Then just sell it on Ebay.
