Seagate has a 180 gig Barracuda model, it's been out for a while now

Hella expensive though

I have tons of disk space. I am presently using 733 mb of 40 gig available. My c:\windows folder is taking up 482 mb of that. I've got maybe a handful of programs installed. I don't I'll be needing 160 mb any time soon.

Only 5400 rpm? Ew. No thanks.

Wow, you have a whole 10 megs more total disk space.

Just wait until you have to format one of those bad boys.

WOW! That 160 sounds nice! I just installed a nice 80GB Maxtor 7200rpm in our server at work. It is real nice and full already!




But BD, two 80GB 7200rpm drives in RAID 0 would total 160GB and would only be a shade over $310.00!!!

I've got room in mine yet................. (2) 30GB in RAID 0........

I recently erased my 4 gig partition and made a 2 gig partition for Windows... gonna make the rest of the stuff my Linux partition.
