Sweet, I needed some hard drives, and I can use the info from the stack of dead WDs at my work.

[twisted5]

Sweet info there Gonna pick up some new Raptors it sounds like. Have a bunch of wd drives laying around in different comps or dead.

[Aynjell]

I will probably buy one of the 320's. A lot cheaper than the egg... 20 bucks off, almost.

[Magnj]

damn...too bad I bought a sammy. What If I use sn from a dell or something...is that kosher?

[LazyBum]

Man, that looks like a great deal, too bad I dont need any drives right now. I currently have 3 of their WD2500KD drives and they are nice, except for the short warranty.
