In in for two. I was just going to get another drive for an old G4 Sawtooth and this will do fine. The other will be for backing up my Powerbook on the road. Thanks for the heads up!

[quote macphanatic]Anyway to power them from a laptop that has a 4 pin firewire port? I'm thinking about one for my work laptop, but don't want to lug a power adapter brick.

The ACFWS is a 12V 1Amp Center-pin positive adapter. Specs on the Pin are as follows:

Length - 9.50mm
O.D. - 3.50mm
I.D. - 1.30mm

Didn't see one matching those specs @ AllElectronics http://www.allelectronics.com/matrix/DC_...rmers.html

Uh oh, price just went up to $59 at provantage. Good luck to all. My email from them has old $22 price + ship.

I jumped on this deal also. Impossible to pass up for less than $30 delivered.

It will make a great back up/emergency boot drive.

(edit) I hit the "buy" button just in time for mine! I hope they honor the lower price.

It changed on me, too, damn. Well, good luck to those of you that got it in early.

Is this drive bootable?

Still available for $37 shipped at amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AKA9A/ref=...twalletcom&linkCode=as1
This would be considered real hot if you hadn't heard about the Provantage deal.

I picked up two and got my confirmation email.

I suspect these will be canceled, but who knows...
