Monster disks WHILE THE 500 and 750GB monsters from Seagate and Western Digital capture the drooling hearts of bleeding-edge bitheads, anyone with a couple of bucks in their pocket can get lots of storage real cheap, especially external kit. If you are paying more than $0.50 a GB for external storage, you’re not shopping hard enough. How cheap? Western Digital was offering 200GB external drives with USB 2.0 for $99 in their most recent semi-annual "clear the shelves" e-mails. LaCie 250GB external drive, designed by F.A. Porsche lists for $139.99 on the company’s website, but I can swear I saw it at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago for $129.99; OK, a tad over $0.50 a GB for external storage, but mark up the extra couple of dollars to "design." (Speaking of design, LaCie is now selling their "Brick" 500 GB drive for $349.99 list. The extra dough in this case might be to keep Lego’s lawyers at bay, because they look an awfully lot like children’s toy bricks, except larger. But I digress). You’ll also end up paying a bit of a premium for density. Seagate’s 750 GB external monster (to be fair, it has both Firewire and USB 2.0 interfaces) lists at $0.75 a GB. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing bad about density, because it can save you both space and power, but unless you really need to be the first person on the block to have a 750 GB drive, you might as well wait the six to twelve months for the price drop when they roll out the 1 and 1.5 TB models.
