    Hi ya, Cin!

    Thanks! Great deal! I just ordered 2. (You know I am a for portable hard drive deals. :) )

    I have just about completed my project to get all my entertainment on portable drives, and I am keeping a few additional ones around for "just in case."

    Sweet deal.

    Gotta run. On my way to the gym in a few minutes. :)

    I cannot seem to find whether or not they use the Scorpion or the Caviar in these drives. I will keep searching for that info.
