Flaming hot: 80 gig portable firewire drive $28 shipped

[Dennis S]

I just bought one from Amazon/XP Passport for $38.37 and got an Amazon confirmation.

OK, I got an email confirmation from mwave for 2.

Just waiting on SW. That may take until Monday.

I got an automated e-mail reply from mwave, so at least it went that far through their system.

Any 10,000rpm sightings for this HD?

[Racer X]

I don't think anyone makes a 10,000 rpm 2.5" laptop drive. And if they did, I don't exactly think it could be buss-powered.

Hmmmm...I got my email confirmation right away from SW, but figured I'd cover myself and ordered one from MWave. Still no confirmation from them.

UPDATE: Still no email, but checking on the website shows this:

D@mn, I step away from this place for a couple of days and I miss a "RUN YOU FOOLS" cross bred with a "USB Scale" type event.

Never got the USB Scale, and looks like now I won't be getting one of these either (it's been picked clean off the Internet). This thing is like crack around here...(^_^)

The drive costs more by itself... take out of case and built your own On-The-Go with kit.

[quote Zoidberg]If I don't get it, no big loss. I'd rather the OWC on-the-go drive any day. But it was too good a possibility to pass up.

FWIW, my order still says "pending review".

[PeterB]

Carnos, you can find the USB scale on ebay these days for $10 plus ship...

As for this drive, it still seems to be available here:

Edit: ugh, OOS ...

OK, not quite as good a price, but still not bad, and lots in stock:
