I bought a 300 GB (that's using the "new" term for GB) drive and a Linksys enclosure for around $120 combined.
300 _GB_ is the correct naming, as the prefix Giga meaning 10^9 is way older than the "mistaken" computer parlance meaning of 2^30. This second meaning should use instead the new standard GiB (gibibite). Hard disk manufacturers have been using the "correct" term for disk sizes for many years, although I guess not because it is correct, but because it yields bigger numbers for the same actual size ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
