I bought the Seagate SATA hard drive, 320 GB, Model N=BA ST3320620AS, fr=
om
Newegg.com on 09 June 2006 for $124.99 ($140.76 including tax and shippi=

I think you cannot beat that price, if you are looking at SCSI's.

And I agree that the jury is still out as far as SATA drive serviceabili=
ty. However, please
note, one of my SCSI hard drives bit the dusk. It was an IBM model, I be=
lieve. It was
giving me a warning message that it was about to fail. I changed it out =
before that
happened.
