I'm going to begin the inevitable switch from CD to PC audio. Although I don't see decommissioning my well-loved Rotel RCD 1070 CDP any time soon, I'd like to get my feet wet with the technology of today.
I have a good friend who is in IT as well as an audio hobbyist who can set me up with an old laptop running Linux as a dedicated music server. I just need to buy an external HD.
I see you can buy a Verbatim SmartDisk 1TB External hard drive for about $150.

This is about half the price of 1 TB drives from other companies, and about the same as most other 500 Gig drives. This Verbatim deal boarders on too good to be true? Is it?
