It's that price at outpost.com/Fry's all the time. I think it went down to $130 at some point.

ok i thought so...good thing i just plunked down money for a 300gb pata then...

sure having thin wires transferring data serially is better than those pata cables...but i'm not willing to pay extra for that. yet.
