$75 + actual shipping charges (usually around $6) If you pay via paypal, i'll ask you to add 3% to cover the paypal fees. I'll take a money order no problem and no additional fees. I have great feedback on ebay (same name, mattvirus).

I have 25 of these drives, and i have 20 more on the way. If you want more than one we can work a deal on shipping and slightly lower price. Let me know!!!

Yeah, I'd like one as well. How do I make sure it will work on my computer?

you need to see if your motherboard is "LBA48" compatible.

Even if it ISN'T compatible, a $15 or $20 IDE controller card will fix it right up.....

if your pc is less than i'd say 3 years old, it should work fine. Matt, are these the 8mb cache drives?

2mb cache 5400 RPM

I'd pick one up if they were 7200.

Description: At 250GB, the MaXLine Plus II ATA drive provides greater storage capacity than regular ATA drives, and is offers the added benefit of ultra-reliability. For near-line and other low-I/O secondary storage applications, it's rated at better than 1 million hours MTTF. Plus, the drive provides data transfer rates up to 46MB/s, 5400rpm speeds, 10ms seek times and a 2MB cache buffer. Thus, it's ideal for 24x7-duty situations where the slow access time of optical and tape solutions simply isnt good enough. Situations where you may not need stored data all the time, but when you do need it, you need it now is perfect for the MaXLine II.

they're quiet and cool, and 5400 rpm is pleanty fast for me.........especially if you raid a few together.

I have a server with 6 of them, raid5, the access speed is insanely fast...

im dumb when it comes to computers..

and this wont work with a laptop will it?

no on the laptop.

Oh think of all the porn and music i could put on one of those :)

Well technically it can work with a laptop or any pc with a USB port for that matter. (I'd highly recommend USB 2.0 or at least firewire.)

Just buy an external enclosure and hook it up via USB port. External cases range from 30-75 bux.

good point brotha

I thought there was only RAID0 and RAID1 (for mirroring). Tell me more about this RAID5 that you speak of...

That's some pretty cool stuff. Thanks for the linkage Ceph

and this wont work with a laptop will it?

actually, if you're willing to buy the enclosure, you can make it as external HDD..it's gonna be like $15 - $30..

thats a good deal, my dell is so compact though, that I have to use tiny laptop hard drives. Mines is only 80gb

sold a few :-) Have a bunch more!!

Any interest in these drives + external USB enclosures?

They're about $27 each, including shipping.

I could do a 250gb external drive for $100+shipping. That's the drive, the enclosure, installation and testing of the drive in the enclosure.

to the top!!
