I've got a couple of Western Digital My Book drives and a few of the Seagate Free Agent drives that seem to be holdling up pretty well.

I'd check out NewEgg before running to Best Buy. They always seem to have some good deal or another going on. Especially if you subscribe to their email newsletter. Better yet, search dealnews.com.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Newegg has a pre-Black-Friday sale starting on Monday. They were advertising a 2TB Seagate external drive for $150.

If that's the drive I looked at earlier today, it's 5400rpm, which is kinda slow.

Yeah. But 2TB is big, and I'm easily impressed.
Actually, I can't tell. Either it's buried somewhere, or I have Friday fatigue.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to open my box to check for an available bay, but I want to go internal.

Does anyone have strong feelings about in-car GPS units? I am thinking a Garmin nuvi 265.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
We had the 200 series and liked it, although at some point there was either a problem with the battery or the charger, because it couldn't keep charged. We never did find out what the problem was, because it was stolen.
So my advice would be not to leave the mount where thieves can see it.

Great. I get a nice big internal drive because I see I have an empty expansion bay and an empty SATA port on the motherboard. But no rails! And the power cables don't fit the drive either. Not to mention that the cables have come off the main drive and I can't get the angle to get them back in so that machine is down until my head hurts less and I can think more clearly.
