Please change the thread title to include 5400 RPM + $69 since it's TigerDirect which means most of us will not see those rebates because they'll either never send them or send this old 5400 RPM drive in a white box without a UPC label (like they've been known to do, as dozens of members have posted about it)...

Some people actually want 5400 drives still, for low heat applications (like inside an XBOX).

$39 is a good price since I just sold a 3 year old 100GB 5400 RPM Maxtor drive that the warranty has expired on for $59 (eBay). Can't believe somebody paid that much. $53 for my 80GB Seagate with 2 weeks left on the warranty as well...

Man, you had me all happy till I saw Tiger Direct. Please put Tiger direct in the title so we can all just ignore it.

This would be a great drive for an XBOX if it wern't a Maxtor U6-series drive with apx 30% failure rate after 1 year service (ref. storagereview.com)

This is the drive that Dell used to put in their Home PC's through 2002-2004. It comes in 7200RPM flavors also, which have an even higher failure-rate. If going with a Maxtor make sure you get a newer generation 8MB cache drive as they have a next-gen implementation of the FDB drive unit.
