How much are you willing to pay for a 40GB one with 1 year warranty for Harddisk left ? Of cause comes with the cable, casing and the packaging itself.

abt month+ back went to SL to buy hardisk all no stock even tho the brochures handed out at the escalators advertised sale of hardisk.

Finally went to a shop at lvl 6 I always buys from, he quoted me a samsung 40g for $138 c/w casing+cable. I showed him the brochures of other shops in SL advertised for $124, he gave me the phone and told me to call them said he "also wanted to find out the market price that day" I taken aback he would ask me to do this but called a few shops anyway and all either said no stock or charged $168 w/o casing.

when I hung up phone he told me HD companies recently stopped production for 40GB hardisks not sure why and dunno whether it's a permanent or temporary thing or whether now everything back to normal. but apparently somehow he and a few other retailers knew before it was going to happen and began to stock up.

actually i oni looking at 40GB....
but 60GB/80GB oso can lah.......

it's for backup purposes only.........
but then......i dun intend to spend too much at this point of time........

I just went down SL again today just look see, 40g samsung $148 c/w casing

if you just looking for backup why not just get a 3.5" casing instead then can use those old 10/20gb hardisk in it.
