Interesting about the new disks. Looking at pricewatch I only
saw two vendors selling the 30G disks, so these are pretty new?
Whats the advantage of buying these, over the DJSA versions?
I've noted that the djsa-230 disk can be gotten for $160-ish;
are the new drives worth it?
I wonder, because of the absolute debacle with the 75xp series--
I just bought two of the 75G disks, and now I'm worried putting
then into service. I sure hope the travelstar disks have and will
continue their reputation in tact.
