Thanks, I picked up 3 for less than $100 shipped.
Also, eblast subscribers, make sure you click on the offer at the top, which will give you another deal later on, such as 10% off all motherboards, etc.

The 7200.11 had major firmware issues that killed the drives prematurely.
Nothing wrong with the platters or mechanics. It was all in the electronics.
Even new drives were pulled from new PC's before they could be sold.
The firmware has been corrected, which is why these are out there in large quantities.
No problem with the new firmware. The drive might even be unused.
 
I saw this this morning but once I was looking around you can get brand new 500GB for $40 or so shipped using a simple $15 off coupon code. So really the refurb deal wasn't worth it to me.


$15 off with promo code HDDSALEXX15, ends 9/26 Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - http://tinyurl.com/2ypxv9


They have many other deals as well...

Not bad. It's worth posting as a separate deal thread.
 
The $40 WD deal is still on until 9/30 with a different promo code (EMCYXNR27). I just picked up one for someone whose Seagate is failing. Considering that my OP was for a Seagate, it is ironic, I guess.

Thanks formulav8.
