I bough 8 of them for $129 during one of the Fry's weekly deal.

$16.13 a piece is pretty damn cheap.

Are they still called deathstars?

Are they still called deathstars?

Those were the IBM 60GXP drives back in the day. IBM sold their hard drive division to Hitachi, giving them that reputation.

They have improved significantly in reliability since: http://blog.backblaze.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/blog-fail-drives-manufacture.jpg

This deal is back up as I write this.

I still can't decide if it's a good deal or not though. That 60 day warranty isn't particularly reassuring.

This deal is stillborn. Seriously... avoid! You don't know me from Adam, but I am pleading with you as a veteran Anandtech HotDeals member... DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE.
