Got my drive today and it's SATA2, I was hoping it'd be SATA150 like in the description, but oh well.

Huh? SATA 2 = SATA 300, there's only two versions out there. Why would you want the lesser SATA 150?

Because of the off chance that it'd be incompatible with my motherboard, I have that kind of luck.

Any recommendations for a cheap RAID NAS box to stick these in?

build you own ! Its super easy and you can recycle some ancient system that you'd otherwise trash. freenas is a freeBSD based software that is amazingly simple to set up and run. I am total linux noob and I was able to get the whole thing up and running in 15 min.

Thanks OP!!

These are great for ghosting (2003) my vista and XP boxes on the cheap!

This deal is back up again. In store and on Fry's.com w/ free shipping. Just picked up one at the Phoenix Baseline store, was the last SATA on the shelf but might have had more in the back, still plenty of IDE models left. Should work well for an OS drive.

edit - oh and it's the SATA II model in store

I got in on the $59.99 320 GB Maxtor PATA deal, it has 7200.10 written on the bottom corner of the label on the HDD and it says Manufactured by Seagate on it too. So $60 for a 7200.10 320 GB drive with 16 MB cache, not bad at all.

they make 7200.10 in pata? I thought they were all sata
