    Totally agree ! A 40 GB IDE is plenty enough for my shop computers. Anything larger than that is a PITA because the larger drives are more time consuming to do regular maintenance & upkeep on.

    I think it all depends on what sells. You see job lots of 4 - 10 .... 80 GB sata drives on e-bay. It's awesome if somebody out there is buying and a seller is making profit.

    The thing is that the technology is always moving forward and the landscape is changing from month to month. What's desirable today is obsolete tomorrow. You've got to stay ahead of the curve. If you're a re-seller you have to be mindful that your stock has a definite shelf life.

    It would be too easy to invest time & money into stock that you ultimately end up having to scrap out because it stopped moving.
