How big are these drives? And $1500 for one hard drive? For useless
comparison... I paid in November $120 for a 160 gig, 7200 RPM Western Digital
drive which will cost me 30 bucks after rebate. I guess these are high speed
SCSI or SATA drives that usually go into network servers.

I'd hate to be the guy burning those 465 CD-R's...ugh Might want to invest
in a
DVD burner - one DVD+R can hold a little over 7 700mb CD-R's, almost 15 for
the
new double layer discs.
