Without in any way promoting or endorsing a particular vendor, look at:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233126

and the reviews thereunder.

quote:  1 out of 5 eggs

Dead After Two Months

Pros: None

Cons: Unreliable right up until its death, a very expensive leason

Other Thoughts: At the price being charged for this item it should be 
flawless

     Manufacturer Response:

     We prefer flawless too but, due to the laws of physics, pretty much 
ANY product made with a semiconductors is going to have a minimum of a 
2% failure rate. And, that is why we have our warranty. Please RMA the 
drive and we'll replace it.
