Where to buy 2.5" IDE laptop Hard Drives?
Hi everybody, I cant believe the prices of a new IDE laptop HDD at Best Buy.
Can anybody please point me to a source that sells 2.5" IDE drives (60GB to 80 GB) larger is fine if the price isn't too crazy.
I have four IDE laptops that are still great machines and I would like to purchase a few IDE drives (I actually need two drives to replace dead drives) and I would like to get a few spares as well.
Thanks all
