In short - my current 250+320 drives aren't simply cut to the task anymore.
In our day and age where Price/Gig of Dual Layer+R DVD is about 50c where Hard drive is as low as 13c 9c !!! Care to guess which one I prefer :
The flaky optical media easily damaged by scratches, corrosion, over-pressure and simply time factor OR high speed of both read and write, extremely high number of re-writes etc...
Since yesterday I got the great news about Newegg stopped collecting taxes in my state, I happily decided to come back and check new deals, among other things I made a small table of Sata2 7200Rpm 3.5" Hard drives, sorted by Price per gig and got some interesting results.
Below are top 5 of the cheapest driver (per gig)
| Name | Price | Capacity | Price of 1gb |
| $84.99 - SAMSUNG HD642JJ 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (Bare Drive) - Retail | $84.99 | 640 | 0.132796875 |
