|  At about 3 times the price per gigabyte, it's A LOT more expensive then regular IDE/SATA drives. If you need the speed, and SCSi is too much, it could be worth it. But is a middle option, SCSi for speed, and IDE/regular SATA for size/price. For a regular power user, that is not one with a lot money to spend, or a unhealthy need for speed, it's probably not worth concidering. The next version might improve however (the 74/37GB versions that is) |

 | 5 years warranty ! 74GB version should be a little faster and quieter.

| That warranty part is something I'm not buying. I've been having some really bad experience with WD lately. Lots of broken noisy and unreliable drives. So what's better, a drive with 1 year warranty that never has to be repaired, or a drive with 5 year warranty that breaks down every year. (along with your data) |
