160 GB - $310

[I_W]

Remember when 1 GB was a VERY LARGE drive?

Check out this Maxtor 160 GB drive.

Though it's a 5400 rpm drive and the seek times are nothing to write home about, some of them have a better data transfer rate than higher speed (rpm) drives. I don't know about this one.

I don't find the physical size anywhere. I wonder if the picture is deceiving and it's a 5-1/4" drive?

How long before we have 1 TByte drives for $100????

I just read somewhere else that drives this large require a different HD controller. Anybody know about this?

ATA 100 only supports 137GB max.. so yes you would need a new controller card to fully utilize this drive....
