Not sure if this is a hot deal or not but it looked pretty good to me. It's a Western Digital 1000JB SE 8MB Cache 7200 RPM for $259.00 + $10.70 shipping. From what I could find on the net the 1000BB is the same as the 1000JB, WD just decided to switch up the names for this Special Edition drive. Here's some of the specs that I pulled from the vendor's site:
[*]Read Seek Time (Average) 8.9 ms
[*]Write Seek Time (Average) 10.9 ms (average)
[*]Track-To-Track Seek Time 2.0 ms (average)
[*]Full Stroke Seek 21.0 ms (average)
[*]Average Latency 4.2 ms (nominal)
[*]Rotational Speed 7,200 RPM (nominal)
[*]Mode 5 Ultra ATA 100.0 MB/s
[*]Mode 4 Ultra ATA 66.6 MB/s
[*]Mode 2 Ultra ATA 33.3 MB/s
[*]Mode 4 PIO 16.6 MB/s
[*]Mode 2 multi-word DMA 16.6 MB/s
[*]Buffer To Disk 525.0 Mbits/s (Max)
[*]Buffer Size 8 MB
