Excellent excellent price! I actually created my own deal like this a few months back on this drive, but this deal is COMPLETELY legal!

Get 'em while they're hot!

Hot deal, but can I readily use this drive in a typical USB 2.0 external drive enclosure? I ask, as I vaguely recall reading something about such drive enclosures being limited to 120 gigs and under.

If there's no problem using the 200 gig drive, I plan on buying one, popping it into the enclosure, and having 200 gigs of fast, easy back-up.

Otherwise, I'll buy a 120 gig drive.

Fry's B&M has it for sale for $149 after MIR.

Great, now all I need is a Fry's B&M within a thousand miles of me. :)

I think you may have issues with the 137GB barrier. Unless your enclosure specifically says the controller will support >137Gb, you better go with the smaller drive... A pity though, as you won't find one that's much cheaper than this...
