    I think it depends upon what you are going to do with the drive. I use drives like this for backup. Yeah, I know, nothing like having a questionable backup, but if you have a reasonable backup schedule then having a bad drive in the rotation isn't really a big deal. But to each his own. Besides, if the previous owner was cute there is probably a big market for her used underwear. Smile

    If buying for backup then get a full sized drive with more space. This is a waste of money.

    #2 wtf is boxing day other than a lame Canadian holiday? Do you routinely pack up all your stuff to see how much space it takes?
