If we can come up with a $100 to $200, we should definitely get two
drives and mirror them. I dropped two Seagate 320GB SATAs in my
server at home in a Linux software RAID1, and it's plenty good for my
purposes.

Yes, hard drive space is one of the cheaper components now. About 6
months back I got 2 x 250gb seagate drives for $99 with free shipping.
Although they were cheaper because they were PATA. I still have file
servers that use it so I didn't mind they weren't SATA

A glance at newegg.com would seem to suggest that the best price

is around 320GB these days, and while we don't need all that storage

I'm a
little bit tied down with other things right now, but once I have a
little more time to focus on MLUG stuff I may very well pass the hat
around. :)
I agree that a 320 GB drive is a good idea and you can get one for
less
than $100 after S/H (from NewEgg.com: Western Digital Caviar RE
320GB 3.5"
SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM, $89.99 + $6.14 S/H).
I'd be willing to pay half of that - $50 - so just tell me when
you want
to do it.
By the way, in terms of GB per dollar, the 750 MB drive is the better
price at exactly twice the price for the 320 GB drive, and with free
shipping:
320 GB / $90 = 3.56 GB/dollar
750 GB / $180 = 4.17 GB/dollar
It's too big for our needs, I would think, but if someone is
looking for
an HDD this is the drive on NewEgg.com: Western Digital Caviar
SE16 750GB
3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM, free shipping!
