What are the differences between the two drives? ST3250823A is the Barracuda 7200.8. The one on sale at Fry's is the ST3250623A-RK. Someone said that this is the 7200.8 but I see no reference at the Seagate website. I would guess that this KIT contains the ST3250823A drive.

I've also read that the 7200.8 has a higher failure rate when compared to the 7200.7. Would welcome any reliability inputs with 7200.8 users.
