Looking at maybe adding an external drive to my S3. I found a link yesterday to a recommended case, but is this a good drive to use?

It is on sale at Fry's for $179.99

thanks,
Phil

Sure. Just make sure you use the Hitachi tool (or similar) to turn the acoustic management to 128.

So is that a good price or is there something better out there? Is this drive good or will I have problems with it?

thanks,
Phil

For external drives, I would stick to those recommended in the eSATA Drive Expansion FAQ (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=350510).
