I'm hurting for storage and was waiting on my sweet spot for 1 GB drives, but I went ahead and ordered 2 of these:
Seagate FreeAgent Pro 500GB (Triple Interface)
Reviews on Amazon suggest it's not a horrible drive, and the price is definitely discounted (still selling in the $120 range elsewhere).
The FreeAgent USB2 500 GB would have been my first choice, but it gets slammed on Amazon reviews, plus it can be had for ~$75, so the $57 is not that great a deal.
This is where you tell me why I'm going to regret my purchase (e.g. the case is actually stuffed with 5 100 GB PATA drives or something.)
Well, unless it was changed from the one I bought in the last Outlet Sale, the 500 GB triple interface drive just is not big enough for 5 drives. Well, maybe if they are 5 iPod size drives.
