Post up any if you get an email from newegg, [buy.com](http://buy.com) or anywhere else. I’ve got to pick something up to start backing up my desktop/laptop to. Prefer eSata with USB2. 750GB+ ---

Cheap enclosure for $30 + w/e hdd is on sale usually works well for me. ---

It’s a notebook drive in it’s own sealed enclosure but it’s USB powered and decently fast. They max out at 320GB but they are ultra-portable and don’t have all the shit that comes with the 5.25" drives like AC adapters, etc. ---

Real world data tranfers it’s a lot faster. Needs USB2 as well though since I’d want to be able to hook it up to my laptop now and then too. Probably just sign up for email notifications from slickdeals and wait for another one of those $130ish deals. ---

Gawd, its like nothing I do is ever good enough for you… Basically if you’re looking to buy right this second, ~$160 gets you 750GB. I’d be hard pressed to find 1TB under $200. BTW, [Seagate w/esata usb 2.0](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148248) same price-ish. and the [WD w/esata usb2](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136171). Thats a few more bones. ---

> [@FightinMike](#): > > Gawd, its like nothing I do is ever good enough for you… Ha… I’m just cheap. Well, that and I’ve seen 750’s for around $130 quite a bit at slickdeals and since I’m in no hurry I’ll just wait. Really I just threw this thread up in case someone sees a great deal so they go, “Hey, I know someone who was looking for one of these” and maybe they’ll post it here. ---
