We have a computer store that one week sold 200Gb hard drives for $90 with a $75 rebate. I got one, but since my motherboard has a maximum of 30Gb drives allowed that is what it is formated for. What a waste. :-( If I could get a 30Gig one and copy everything over I would be happy to trade.
There are two workarounds for that problem. Most boards have newer drivers that add support for drives larger than 30 gigs. And the drive suppliers have little apps to make the really big drives usable. Some boards need both, some just need the app form the drive company.
