Toshiba 40gb 16mb cache $67 @ Dell Small Business thru 11/10

My 2nd HDD adapter arrived today (thanks Bill) but alas the HD I was using in the 2nd HDD adapter for my T30 won't fit ... so I went looking on ebay for a good deal on a 9.5MM 40gb drive, found nothing too spectacular ... then I saw this deal thanks to Techbargains.com:

2.5in Notebook hard drives

Toshiba 40GB 5400RPM 16MB Cache MK4026GAX Internal ATA-6 Notebook Hard Drive $67.16. Search for A0398575.

Toshiba - 80GB 4200RPM 8MB MK8025GAS Super Slimline Internal ATA-6 Notebook Hard Drive $123.24 Search for A0288227

It's in their Small Business Division. S&T was another $10 or so. I'll be using it for Ghost backups. Probably overkill, but, my T42p deserves the very best!

It's not really the best. There are links ot reviews of teh Toshiba drive around here. Hitachi and Seagate 2.5" drive are better.

Whoops! I stand corrected ... hopefully it's worth $67. I'll search, but the lowest prices I found for 40gb'ers were well above this.

I got no problem with Toshiba drives, my T30 has a Toshiba drive.. And it's been working flawlessly since I got it, even though there is less than 1GB free space on it, and it hasn't been defragged once (I know, I am ashamed).
