As title says, Frys.com has the Maxtor MXT 7H500F0 for $109.99 with free shipping.

edit-deal dead, now $119.99 with free shipping

edit-the price seems to be fluctuating get it at $109.99 while you can
 
I would jump on this but I have 2 500 WD's and I would prefer not to mix brands :\ Guess I can wait a bit longer for prices to dop.
 
Is it me or have HDD prices gotten ridiculously low? I haven't been in the market for a large HD in a while but I see lots of deals for 500gb around $100 these days.

Me too. I'm so happy disks are getting cheap. Now if only they could get (a lot) faster in terms of seek time.
 
Any chance these are rebadged Seagates? The last 300GB Maxtors I ordered from Outpost ended up being 320GB 7200.10s
 
seagate owns maxtor and these OEM drivers are Maxline pros with 5yr warranty with seagate/maxtor... and I wouldn't be surprised if they were seagates, but not sure.
 
I just snatched one from frys online. I will update everyone on the warranty to be more clear. I should receive it this friday but if someone get its their's before me, update us on the warranty or if you magically get a seagate.
 
FYI. newer maxtor drives are now manufactured by Seagate using perpendicular technology. I passed this 500gb deal and went for 2 maxtor $49 200gb sata300 drives to use for raid. The drives I bought are rebranded seagate 7200.10's.

a very good portion of newegg's warranty listings are incorrect.
note- one of the reviewers from the link you sent said:
"Pros: This is my second one purchased, both have been very fast, easy to install and thus far 1 mth very reliable. Both of mine came with 5 year warranties as checked on the Maxtor/Seagate sites warranty checker utility."
Zipzoomfly shows 5years

not all new maxtor drives are rebadged seagates. some people have reported this drive as being a real maxtor.

How do you tell if they are rebadged?
 
FYI- just got 2 in- they were double boxed - drives came in special Frys oem tight pack boxes that apparently Maxtor/Seagate did special for them (assuming Frys would never take the time or money to invest in oem boxing them themselves). The drive checked on seagates site with warranty till: 25-Feb-2012
The drive's manufacture date is 21-aug-2006. So these are OLD stock being clearanced -so get them at this price while you can if the price drops are in fact low only to clear old stock.
PS- these look like straight up maxtors, dont think are seagates.

Google "7H500F0 Warranty" and you'll find that these are business-class MaxLine Pro's with a 5 year warranty.
