In many cases the $49.95 jobs are 'Pulls" where they have been removed from use or new laptops for scavenging.
After a search I found a Hitachi 80gig 5400rpm ATA-100 for around $80, plus I'll add a Acronis transfer kit and that will let me use the old one as a backup, although it has a bad block.
The bad block may make a transfer not work if it is in something valuable.
It's about time I do a re-install anyway. Gots gots of junk.
Newwegg had it. I love Newegg.
Hitachi 80gig 5400rpm hdd plus the transfer mount kit.Added another Intellimouse for my Linx box so it doesn't feel left out.
80gig is big enough because I use a WD 160 gig USB external for storage.
the 5400 rpm will be a big boost over my 4200 I now have.
