I found quite a few 1 TB drives for $100 or less, but many (most!) of 'em couldn't do SATA. I also didn't have to pay any shipping!
In addition to the amount of disk storage, I couldn't believe the small size of this one. I have a 500 GB MyBook and this little guy is half that size! I can feel that it's running, but I can't hear it.
For the guys wanting to know how I can do DXLabs and TV at the same time - we took the low tech approach - we have a baby monitor system with the TX in the shack and the RX wherever we want it to be. When Joe DX hollers we come a-running!
I keep threatening to make recordings to create our own Josephine DX so we have different voices - one for the wife and one for me. At the moment, our workaround is to have her version announce the callsign while mine doesn't. As soon as we hear a callsign, we know "...it's for you dear!"

Subject: [dxlab] Cheap Disk Drives
Yesterday, Rich and I exchanged notes about the cost and size of disk
drives over the years. Yesterday, in pursuit of an addition to my HD DVR,
I was able to purchase an external WD hard drive - 1 TB, that's 1
terrabyte or 1,000 gigs! - for $140 including the case.
Seagate 1TB is $109 at BestBuys. Couldn't pass it when I upgraded.
