Note that the 16MB WD SATA2 HD in the USB2.0 enclosure can still be had at Newegg for $119.99 after $25 rebate + shipping
16MB SATA2 version at Newegg

It seems that there's a newer 8MB model to the great deal of a couple of weeks ago when this drive's 16MB predecessor could be had for $86 without one-button back-up software.

The Manufacturer's website claims it has a 133MB bus speed.
So, I'm guessing this contains a Maxtor PATA HD.

To those who get this, let us know what HD is inside.
Thanks

Well, the rebate form is for $30.
Maybe you got a 10% off deal too.
They often have 5% and 10% off deals.
I got an additional 10% off when I got mine a while ago.
