The time has come to replace my last remaining original 30GB drive for an 80GB version, leaving me with a spare 30GB drive on my hands.

Any takers ? UK only please.

Quick unrelated question if you don't mind me asking, where did you get & how much are you paying for your 80GB drives?

Cheers, Sim

I snagged my Hitachi/IBM Travelstar 80 gig from my favorite online retailer Multiwave Direct in California USA for $300 (total with shipping). I could have paid less at newegg or something, but I know and trust Multiwave and have a user account there and everything. The drive came quick and works great along side my 30gig. I haven't tested it in car yet, but songs uploaded just fine. Good luck.

I can only find one online reseller for the 80GB drives in the UK, they're listing @ £240 ( ~ $400 ) - still a bit too rich for me.

Still prices can only come down

Yep, with that £200 psychological barrier gone I am now (well by about Friday anyway) the proud owner of an 80GB drive. Thanks everybody.

Cheers, Sim

That's what you get for being on the "bleeding edge" of technology

At this point, I do not really consider an 80GB "bleeding edge". It certainly has its interesting points, and we are starting to really push the hardware a bit (memory involved with fsck), but it is still fairly stable.

Now, alpha3.0 would be another matter... (No, I don't have it.)
