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)...
$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...
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.
