    Is this a good hard drive?-my plan is to buy this-reformat it with truecrypt and run it on linux ubuntu...anyone else have a setup like this?

    While i could easily buy it online from amazon uk id also like to see what this retails at in a bricks and mortar store. Reason- i had a bad experience from amazon uk when i had to return a faulty but new hp all in one printer- i ended up having to pay for the return of the device to Britain which cost 40 British pounds alone.

    I'm sorry I'm going to be useless here, I was in and out in 2 mins. I don't remember the brand, and the drive is in my girlfriends house so i can say tomorrow, it was one I never heard of but the warranty made me get it. Was like cene or something, that's probably completely wrong though. I saw 1.5s but didnt see 2, then again I wasn't looking. I don't think there were any other drives as good a price in there.
