Sometimes, you can buy a bottom-end drive from Dell (used to be a 73GB drive, it's probably bigger now) with the caddy and the drive you actually want from another supplier and swap the drive into the Dell caddy for less than buy a sensible-capacity drive from Dell with caddy - which then gives you a cheap, crap HDD to throw away.
