yeah I concur, you can get a 200gb drive for the price of that 80gb minimate and still have enough to buy a hub for ports. It might not be the best deal, but it sure does look nice, and I am sure design *****s will shell out the extra clams just to be destijl 
you guys are sooo spoiled! sure, you could buy all the separate parts cheaper, but it wouldn't look as nice as this. and while it might be a bit pricey, it's not even close to being "outragiously (sic) priced".
years ago, i worked at the now defunct micropolis corporation, a hard drive manufacturer. i remember one of the hot employees deal posted on the board: an 8", 400mb (yes, megabyte) drive for only $850. we were all amazed that they'd sell them to us so cheaply! my friend actually bought one! (back then, $850 was a lot of money)!!
oh well. i doubt people can afford it even if it is worth the price. i just don't think that doubling the price of a normal harddrive with a sleek alluminum case is worth it.
well it has more usb and firewire ports... thats what i like about it.
Ugly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks ok, shame about the logo plastered across the front, not very sleek

that's easily fixed with a silver gel pen, lol.
I'd get one in an instant fi I wasn't planning on a new iMac over summer.
I'm a college student in the dorms, so space is an issue, plus I do video and graphic editing so some extra ports would be great, as well as the extra HD space. It's a bti expensive, but it sames me so much space and cables flying everywhere.
