Yup, for example an IDE hard drive can easily cost more than a lower-capacity SATA drive. No more of that for me, I'm saving my external firewire drive that was bought for another purpose but never used in case another hard drive goes on me. The drive in the external enclosure is a SATA. Also, lots of soakers on eBought for memory cards of a low enough capacity to work with my old camera, but one seller has a crapload of NOS Kingston cards packaged with a card reader that I also needed for 8 bucks.
