IOGear 320GB Combo (USB/FireWire) Hard Drive w/ Tri-Select Back-Up FREE BUDGET SHIPPING $30.00 Mail-in Rebate $159.95 After Rebate (expires 12/21/05) Buy.com price: $189.95 List price: $299.95 http://enews.buy.com …/y/eePK0HkCpu0G4J0BlUS0Gh  Check the speed. Bet its 4200RPM. I'd also be concerned about the "extended" warranty in that you have to pay to get at least 12 months. That means it's probably 30-90 days. HD's fail. They are built to fail (just like light bulbs). Less than 3 yrs is a risky buy. Todd Jacobsen

Everything and all specs on the drive is listed for view. The RPM is 7200. Are you reading the same as everyone else? 1 yr warranty on external drives are industry standard.

Try clicking the link and reading the specs. I just bought one as this is a great deal and you can never have too much disk space. Doc Klepper in the USA

Does look like a pretty good deal. Definitely 1/3 cheaper than comparable models (WD, Iomega, etc). Todd Jacobsen
