Cheap Firewire-400 500GB Drive?

[mrlynn]

Looking for one for not much over $100 (USBs are cheap, but USB 1.0 on son's TiBook is slow); found a few, but somewhat sketchy:

Seagate (750GB ) : Refurb; DM says 5-yr warranty applies, but eCOST page says only 90 days. ??

I know, beggars can't be choosers. Anyone with comments, better ideas?

The Seagate drive is $137 with shipping—anyone with better information on the warranty?
