[mythtv-users] Extremely Good Deal on 2.5" drive

[Brian Wood]

OK, normally I wouldn't post such a thing here, but this deal looks  
so good I would be derelict if I didn't share it.

Unity Electronics is selling external 2.5" hard drives, 120 GB, 7200  
RPM, 2MB cache, 8.9 ms. access, for $79.

The external case has the usual USB 2.0 interface, and also an  
ethernet interface to use it as NAS.

The NAS software does the usual stuff, but also, according to the  
claim, has features like automatic mirroring to another similar drive  
(poor man's RAID 1) and aggregation of two or more drives to appear  
as one (poor man's RAID 0).

No performance specs on the server are given though.

The normal price is $99 but the code "NET2USB" gives you the $79 price.

Seems to me that $79 is an incredible price for a 2.5" 120GB bare  
drive, never mind the NAS/USB case. The best price I can find at  
Tiger etc. is $149 for just the drive.

Sorry to bother you folks, but it does seem to be a good deal.
