3TB Harddisk sale

[Ian Garmaise]

In upgrading my Lenovo T60, I originally bought two 760 Gb Seagate 2.5"
drives from Canada computers.
Before opening the package, I then read about all the firmware disasters on
the web.
Returned them for two Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 Gb drives (one for
internal use, one for backup in an enclosure)
(the 750's won't fit in the notebook slot).  No problems, migration
technique from Lenovo worked as advertised.
