Frys.com should have a 750gb hard drive for a better price. You can store your pr0n for a lot cheaper than 240. try them or zipzoomfly.com

 

[bumpin buick 5,000+ posts]

Well cudas are the same price otherwise WD are $10 more a pair, think it really matters?

Hard drives will be setup in Raid 1, I have already had a few hard drives fail on me, mostly WD //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
