[vox-tech] New 120G Western Digital Drive for $180 (after rebate) at Fry's

[vox-tech@lists.lugod.org]

I knew I had seen a story on this drive.
Here is a Slashdot story
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/03/18/144237&mode=thread
And a link from the story 
http://www.viahardware.com/ibm120gxp.shtm

The hard drives are evidently rated for 333 hours/month
operation.

Just something to be aware of.  The article goes into
more depth.
