From Cavalry Products, the CAUM Series of 3.5 inch external hard drives. I purchased the 1TB model CAUM3701T0-B, (for specs see below). Unboxed, put on stand, powered up, and connected to the desktop via the USB cable. The drive was immediately recognized, and before one has time to say "presto!" you have 931 GB available for immediate use (1,000,202,240,000 bytes). Backed up the desktop using ViceVersa PRO software (backed up 31.17GB, completed in 1 hour, 12 minutes, and 21 seconds)This will probably date this blogger, but he remembers when he purchased his first CF card, at over $900 for an 8MB card. Yes, that's flash rather than disk drive, but at the time the thought of being able to get one terabyte of storage for under a hundred dollars (including shipping costs!!) was about as likely as tourists in space!! And now we have both...
Note: Per the sticker on the box, the hard drive is a Hitachi (have not opened to confirm...)
