Live.com isn't exactly trustworthy either. The owe me $200 for a product I "returned" according to their system, although it's sitting in my living room...

It's actually $61 after rebate & cashback through ebay because it's 30% (or w/e % it's at) of $130.
It's a great deal considering the drive used is actually WD green drive which varies between 5400-7200rpm so it's perfect for storage, which I assume anyone wanting a 1TB drive will be using it for. On top of that, you get an external enclosure. But yea... I don't trust the rebate. I saw this and passed because I don't need hard drive space so bad and getting a Samsung 1TB for $70 after $30 cashback is a better deal on a better drive in my opinion.

My Fantom rebate only took 3 weeks to receive. I bought it through NewEgg a few months ago.

This was a common misconception about the WD green drives but it is NOT true. They are pure 5400rpm drives.

"For each GreenPower? drive model, WD may use a different, invariable RPM." In other words, Western Digital reserves the right to release both 5,400 RPM and 7,200 RPM drives under the Green Power name ? without telling you which are which. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article786-page2.html

hehe
yea..oh well.
