Not in this lifetime. I could buy FOUR 500GB drives for that kind of money. I can buy the SAME Jada model cars for $29 each, a 500GB mini USB hard drive for about $55, and then make my own... Maybe I'm just an asshole, but come on, I can't be the only one thinking this. You can find out ways to build TONS of stuff like this (actually, much cooler stuff) over at indestructibles.com. Maybe if you have money coming out of your ass you can afford things like this, but the rest of us are being suffocated by a horrible economy, and can't afford to spend $230 on an $85 piece of hardware.
