Got my drive Friday. It is a Seagate 320gb 7200.10 :).

Question: Do you guys remove the "Limit to 1.5 Gb/s operation" jumper ???

Item isn't even in the catalog any more. Add another confirmation that is was indeed a 7200.10 Seagate drive. Excellent buy.

Don't worry, they'll be that cheap again before too long....it's the law.

Edit: After some poking around I located this Seagate 300gb PATA drive for the same price & snagged it for use in my old Belkin external enclosure.... no extra 20gb's & it isn't Perpendicular Recording either, but it still has the 5 year warranty.


I received the Seagate 300gb PATA drive today & it turns out its a 300gb version of the 7200.10 perpendicular drive so I'm a happy camper for $60.

Bad news is this one while still in stock is now showing @ $89.

I sent their Customer Service an email asking for the shipping charge to be taken off my order. Anyone ever done this?

Geez - when the OP posted the deal on Jul 25, there was free shipping. Apparently that is gone now. Poof! Free shipping over! Stores do that. You can learn to live with it if you try really hard. :)

Doesnt look like there is free shipping anymore or I would have ordered a couple.
