The 80G is new, and the 20G is probably geared more towards being a spare.
"Spare Parts" drives are always expensive. I bet an old 4.3G red-tab
Compaq drive would run you over $300 new these days, but the only reason
you would need one is to replace a failed drive in a critical system. They
charge more because they can.

I'm buying four identical drives for RAID 5. I'm hoping to buy IBM, but if
someone has a better suggestion, I'm open by virtue of good evidence.
What puzzles me is, a 20G drive is $92. An 80G drive is $106.
What's up with that? I need stability above all; is the 20G
a better buy for this reason? Can anyone please explain
why it's roughly the same to buy these two very different sizes?
