Inexpensive ~30GB Hard Drive
I've currently got a 30GB Photo iPod and a 20GB hard drive on my computer.
 I'm planning on upgrading my computer after I move in a few months but would like to find an inexpensive ~30GB hard drive I could use in the meantime so I can actually fill my iPod rather than be constrained by the size of my computer hard drive. I'm currently using a 4 year old Gateway. I'm pretty sure the drive is IDE but I'm not that familiar with the different types and I'm not 100% sure or know if it can accept any other types. Any suggestions on a good inexpensive drive with at least 30GB? Thanks in advance!  |

Probably going to be tough to find one that small. I'd suggest looking at the usual suspects (Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy, Circuit City) in their weekly ads for a good deal on a HDD. Often they'll require rebates, but could be worth it.
Your other option is your local CraigsList (if you have one). You may find a used one there, and it would probably be cheap. Good price: about $.50/gig. 60 gig drive for $30, 100 gig for $50, etc. Maybe something like this would work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822144233 Best of luck...

You are probably going to find the best deals right now in the 120 to 200 gb range.

Not saying I need 30GB exactly. Just wanted to show I didn't need a huge state of the art drive and wanted a good deal. If there are good deals on 100GB+ drives I'll pick one up, just looking for the most inexpensive way to meet my needs.

Hmmm I may have a small 20 gig available soon. It's used but in good shape.
