Checked the specs - it's 2 Terabytes so that's a pretty darn good deal for $100! TONS of storage.

It may be a solid deal, but just check the internet for customer reviews on that particular unit. There have been reliability issues with some of these big drives....

I love these drives... I have two 1TB drives and one 2 TB drive of this kind. They are really good and fast. I use E-SATA with my MacBook Pro and the transfer speed is blazing fast. Highly recommended hard drives!

By the way, Fantom drives are always inexpensive, it seems.
