Seagate is selling USB 2.0 external drives (which include, and require a wall-wart for power) for $59.99 for a 1.5 TB version, with smaller and larger ones available, too. The hard drive market is strange right now as Hitachi has decided to abandon the market and sell its (former IBM) product line to Western Digital. I don't think anyone is making any money on hard drives these days. There is no "the next greatest thing" in hard drives and 3 TB should be just about the max for the foreseeable future. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
