I finally ordered one!
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001NGOIJO/
This deal also appears on their Gold Box page for today, http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/
This will be a replacement for my aging stock 160GB SATA drives in my G5. Should be a decent improvement, especially since my boot drive only has 4GB free space left. I will probably keep one of the 160's in there as backup bootable drive, but maybe not.
I am tempted to buy two, but I figure I will be using less than half of the capacity on just one so having two doesn't really make sense. I won't need that much space for a while and by then the 2GB drives will be 8 cents per GB, hopefully less.
And yes I do have a backup drive, it's actually the exact same model 1TB 7200.11 in an external USB 2.0 case.
