oh snap! didn't even think of Staples, which is closer to my house.

yeah Jaline, staples will price match most stuff but i think it mostly applies to non-online retailers (best buy, office depot, circuit city, etc..)
might want to read the fine print on that.

It's actually $349.99 in Canada at Business Depot:

Bought the Western Digital that I said I would.
I'm going to use it this weekend sometime, most likely. There's just so much to organize and I don't have much time to do it right now.

Probably too late...but....
Keep an eye on www.techbargains.com, there are some super deals.
I just picked up a Maxtor 500 gb One Touch III for $180.
I love my Maxtors, got a bunch of 'em now.

cheaper no-name brands do have a tendancy to die in the ass.

I’m picking up a 1TB Western Digital after work today.
It’s actually cheaper than burning DVD-R DL’s.
:O
I wanted to stick with Maxtor, but for some reason they are hundreds more expensive for basically no noticeable reason, heh.
A few of these, and my ultimate plan I wanted to set out since I started with computers may be complete!@#

Anybody have any experience with the Seagate FreeAgent.

I'm thinking of getting one.
For the record I'm on my second Maxtor 320gb. The first one died within a year of purchase. Maybe they are more reliable now since Seagate bought them?!

(Mar 28 07, 09:23)I'd have to agree, particularly because of the posts here and problems people have been having in general. Of course, you could just try it for yourself (kind of like the PC versus mac argument), so this is just a suggestion.
I haven't had my Western Digital one for that long (obviously), so I don't really have an opinion yet. It's working well so far :P
