For those of us
Who have... how to put this... rather extensive multimedia archives, this is a godsend.

As for the compatibility issue mentioned above, you and I don't have that problem since Linux doesn't really care what the controller says and deals with the drive itself. I've had BIOSes see 200+ GB drives as 4GB or other very odd sizes, but Linux says "lookie, a 250 gig!" and goes on about its business.

I am still looking forward to 1TB drives because I know I am gonna have a stack of them in my desktop box. Yay for drive space!
