cheap storage

[tc4b]

Like most of you, I'm guessing, I occasionally need to buy a new HD for those bulky recording sessions. Found this one today and got one, seems about as cheap as you can get per gigabyte, $110 and free shipping for 1 TB. ANyone know of a better deal, please, share!

It seems like a good deal for storage, but it doesn't use firewire (usb 2.0) and I can't find the RPM anywhere.

I do have an external Western Digital firewire drive that I have been recording directly to and have so far been happy with it. The one I have makes less noise than my laptop and doesn't get hot. (320 Gig Western Digital Mybook)

I understand, but I'm using it strictly as a warehouse. Anything I need to actively used will be moved to the internal drive. So, for my purposes, speed is not an issue.
