Is this a decent deal? $139.99 Price seems pretty good when I compared US retailers.

Only warm if you need the personal media drive to fit the bay in an HP machine.

Most m series HP media center machines fit 3 drives internally, so it's cheaper to just buy an internal 500+gb drive instead if you don't need portability.

If you don't need the HP drive design, an aftermarket drive and enclosure will be cheaper...

Too bad my M7250N only have one spot for another hard drive and it's already been used. :(
