seagate freeagent 1TB's going for $169
At OfficeWorks until the stock is gone.

They only have USB 2 and they are the old model but with the A$ low the new shipment is over $300.

This is in SA - dunno about other states.

Only USB? Nah, thanks. Firewire is the way to go!

That's not what his Steveness thinks...

I've totally lost confidence in Firewire since the notebook refresh. From now on, every device I get will be USB.

There's eSata (not of use to Macs), and USB-which is what most of us is connecting the Seagate via.

Do those Seagate drives even have eSATA? I know that the drive itself is a SATA drive, but one of my friends at uni has a 500GB FreeAgent drive, and its only got USB, which IMHO is inexcusable on a SATA enclosure.

My 750GB does on the back-but I use the USB connector instead.
