I've just noticed Harddrive prices are falling again. And Seagate now have a 750GB HD selling for around £189. This has led to 500GB HDs dropping to below £100 with a 500GB Seagate for £97, a WD for £92 and Samsung for £98.
This means that for under £200 you can now purchase two 500GB HDs! 1TB of storage for under this price was unheard of last year. Great news for retro gaming collectors!

I just saw that yesterday as Oz wanted to buy one. At the moment I don't need more storage, but it's always good to know you can get them for very cheap now.

I have just returned from the States, had to go to a memorial service, but went to Fry's electronics where quite often they have crazy blow out deals and got a 400gb Maxtor SATA 7200RPM drive for £58

Oh great. I just bought a new 300GB drive last month for £90-ish.
Oh well, good to hear that prices are dropping though. No excuse to not have plenty of storage space anymore, that's certain.

Cool.
Might make a good backup option for my 120GB drive. It's just that I'm not sure if I can be bothered to copy 85GB of data onto DVDs using a 2x DVD recorder. And I'd get extra storage at the same time. Not sure what I'd actually use it for though as I haven't really used much disk space at all over the last year.

Why not buy a newer DVD writer Steve? Under £15 now for a decent one!
Although for backing up the contents of a harddrive I actually do think a second harddrive is the best option, and easier to maintain and update the backup compared to DVD-R. I do this with my MP3 collection with the complete collection mirrors between two drives on different machines.

I don't think it ever matters what size HD I have in a computer. It only ever seem to have 3GB of free space!
