Might make a nice external backup drive in an enclosure.I would get SATA for a system drive though. The cables are much easier to deal with.

Hey AW.I'm not buying this drive for myself for the same reason. I prefer SATA300 internals. I read that Seagate is releasing it's eSATA300 160 & 500GB drives in the next few months. That's what I want. Nearly 100MB/s sustained transfers in an external drive. No USB or 1394 bottlenecks. -------------------- Verdammt durch das Fleisch. Gerettet durch das Blut.

I'm over the 2/3 mark on my loan 120gig. I need to pick up another drive. . . finances permitting. Probably go with a Western Digital Caviar RE 300 or a Caviar RE2 400.-------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

You care more about the game than the players do? -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Right, but my point is that the players on the Steelers don't care as much as you do about it.-------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

At least the interference call was a bit understandable, he completely cut him off. How about the interception by Troy Polumalu (sp.. who cares) that was overturned? HELLO BULLSHIT CALL. If he would have been touched while rolling, its an interception and he is ruled down. But since he tries to get up and knocks the ball out w/his knee, its not a catch? What a bad call.
At the least NFL has made a statement about the Troy interception. They said it was an interception and not an incomplete pass. I've not heard if there has been a ruling on the pass interference call though.End of the day it doesn't matter. I always thought that games in the US were very well officiated when compared to soccer in Scotland (which is very bad). This weekend has shown me a different view. AW - yeah, good choice not to bet.  [ 01-17-2006: Message edited by: Mad Max ] -------------------- Miss you guys.
