Swimmer Posted May 6, 2007 CID Share Posted May 6, 2007 I was at Walmart, my new favorite store, and found an IDE 7200rpm 80gig hard drive for $48. I don't know it is available nation wide.. but that is pretty cheap for a retailer. So if you are looking for an additional hard drive that is an option..
