I just used two of these drives for clients. Now I'm out. I think I paid like $70-80 for them, 6-12 months ago.

Why would you want that, when you can get something that is proven to be very fast like the samsung spinpoint F3 1TB for $50.14 shipped with Coupon Code: FOODCOMA15. And everyone says that suiperbiiz has better packaging for hds then newegg. Excellent reseller ratings for them as well.

I'm running 7 of these drives since late 2007. Yeah, paid $150+ for each back then.

All are solid and none have died on me.

FOODCOMA15 expired a few days ago, but, yeah, it is a nice drive.

Newegg and Buy.com packaging blows if OEM. Might as well just toss the cheap plastic of box and ship the drive bare. There's almsot no protection ><! Sometimes I wonder why I still buy from them.

Add superbiiz/ewiz to that list. Just received the Samsung 1T listed in the thread and it was in a small OEM WD box barely larger than the drive itself. It had a big dent on the bottom so now I have to do thorough testing to make sure it is ok. Even then it may fail in the near future. They should have at least placed this small OEM box in a bigger, say 12"x12" box with peanuts to ship it.
