Is this a good deal?

I'm not really interested in the drive for watching Blu-Ray movies, but more for the storage capacity those disks provide. I have a 350 GB hard rive that is 90% full and another 500 GB worth of data on 100+ DVDs and it's getting tedious cleaning my hard drive 4.5 GB at a time. I could store my entire hard drive on 14 Blu-Ray disks as opposed to 75+ DVDs.

It's a good deal but Newegg has a much better deal. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136155 $225 shipped.

If you are going to spend that much I might invest in a fast hard drive. You could get a 1TB external HDD for around $137 shipped. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148332

What kind of things are you storing?

SAS or SCSI drive at 10000 or 15000 is the only way for jtk to access his porn...

I don't think anyone makes an external HDD that fast though at least not at reasonable prices, guess he is out of luck... :(

I'm assuming he is replacing a pre-existing DVD burner with a blu-ray and doesn't have an available rack for a crazy fast internal HDD (nor the motherboard to support it) which is why I suggested external to begin with.

USB 3.0 looks mighty fast though...

I've never met an external HHD that was fast enough for me. I used to have one that I used with my previous machine that I hated. I ended up ditching it and going with a similar sized internal slave drive that was 10 times faster. May end up going that route again. If I go with another HDD instead of the Blu-Ray storage, I want a good 1 TB worth of capacity on top of the 350 GB I currently have.

It'll sell me a new motherboard for sure. Won't buy a whole new computer though... that's a waste...

At least 250 GB. I got damn near 100 GB worth of Jenna Haze alone. I'm trying to build up my Raven Riley collection and I'm running out of room.

Raven Riley>Jenna Haze by far

good choice.

I may have found an external hard drive I can get behind...

2 TD of storage space for the same prices as a Blu-Ray drive. By my count, that's almost 3,000 hours worth of Raven Riley getting her freak on. That would almost cover the offseason.
