ok DD, i have some issues... i went to 2 local computer shops today, and neither of them carry the IDE drives anymore, as you know they are out dated and everything runs of SATA or whatever now...

newegg is expensive, and they have a 1 year warranty on their HDDs... on Ebay i have found HDD for very good prices... i can get a Toshiba 80gig refurbed, for 50 bucks, with a 5 year warranty... or i can get a brand new 80 gig factory sealed with a 3 year warranty for 53.00...

as you can see, the warranty is great, but if it crashes and i lose everything even if its under warranty, still makes the warranty worthless in a way (thank god i have the externals)....

so what would YOU do? wink

ok to trust ebay?
