I almost bought this earlier in the week when it was 90 ar. Newegg drops it $10 and I'm in for two.

I would be in for two, except I jumped on the newegg/paypal Seagate 1.5TB deal - 2 for <$220. They're running great. Still almost jumped at this one though. With a utility downloaded from hitachi, these make for great backup drives (run cooler and slower and quieter)

It shows $90 after $30 rebate now. Is there a coupon code to apply, or was the price lower earlier this week?

I'm seeing $79.99 after $30 MIR +FS...

Of course, it's now 4 days after your post - which is an eternity in "Hot Deals" years... :D

O snap, $3 back!

This does seem like quite the deal though. I need a new hard drive. 1TB would be nice....so tempting!!!

Thanks OP I have been looking for a drive and I can not see them getting much lower than this for a while.

In for one. I, like Marm, decided prices aren't going to fall for 1TB drives for a while.

I don't think prices will drop until larger drives come out. It'll probably be a while till we see drives bigger than 1.5TB.

Thanks OP. The server has been getting full so 2 of these should set me up for a while.

You can also get them in a combo with a 0.5m SATA Rt Angle cable here if you need spares.
The strange thing is they are $2 after $5 combo discount, but when you buy 2 you get an additional discount making them $0.50 each. Pretty nice.

The only thing is that these are the older kind and not the 'B' version at least according to Tomshardware. The older ones produced more heat and may be more susceptible to failure.
The price however makes it very inviting.

Mine stalls, but it's the 5400RPM version. Will be returning it.

Oooohh....really?

That doesn't sound appealing.
