This may be part of the reason why the price of other drives has been dropping recently, and the reviews of this drive are good all round for the price bracket.

Cannot argue with your Amazon 120gb find however. Well played.
**** has it for £102, but not sure of P&P or reliability of sales (the site does not let me post their links!)
