I buy all my drives from Intrex. They give you an instore 
return time of about 3 weeks, in case there's problems, 
before you have to go through the warantee. This gives you 
enough time to run badblocks. You don't get this at Best 
Buy. Intrex is (or at least used to be) a TriLUG sponsor.

The prices are better at Best Buy though. I wonder if 
they're still drawing from their pre-flood stock.
