Default Hard Drives

What is wrong with this drive: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=101206-1

because it is cheaper than this one: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=101200-1

Seriously... am I missing something?

nothing is wrong with that drive.

80 gig is just more common than 40 gig.

If a mfg can make a larger quantity of one product, it ends up being cheaper for them to make; therefore, the end cost to the consumer is reduced...
