Boomstick: Thanks, but I'm pretty set on the enclosure with drive setup, as opposed to a closed-up external. All-in-one externals tend to have shorter warranties than internal drives. Internal drives can also be replaced or upgraded, and an enclosure can easily be re-used even if the drive dies/gets upgraded. Lastly, internal + enclosure is a lot cheaper per gigabyte.
Gaara: even within series it doesn't make much sense. Why is the 120 GB Seagate (7200.9) MORE expensive than the 160 GB seemingly equivalent Seagate (ALSO 7200.9)? I still don't understand. Should just forget about this and get the cheapest 160 GB Seagate, or am I compromising something I don't know about by doing that?
Again, thanks for all the advice.
