I found something better for you that I just purchased myself... the price ratio isn't quite that good, but 500gb for 160 (after 10% rebate) from seagate... makes me happy,
ps, do you know if its possible to copy everything from primary (C:) drive to a new drive, and then ditch make this new drive be the boot drive, and wipe the old one? (Without insane hoops to jump through? if its a couple steps I can handle but I'd rather not reinstall the OS) I think the old drive is losing integrity, so I want to use it for less important backup data, and this drive is faster than that one anyways (old being IDE) so it makes sense to use it as OS disk
