Retail Seagate 300 Gb SATA NCQ $149.99 AR Shipped

Only one rebate per household 🙁

But it's the 7200.8 (new version, not the 7200.7) and it is the retail kit.

Top find.

I've heard Seagate rebates take upwards of 4 months or more to come in.... if it was more like 1 month, it would be a hot deal.
 
I was in the market for a Seagate SATA drive after my Maxtor crapped out (1 year warranty, bah) and notice that this deal is still good till the 26th.

SATA. so yes NCQ?

Only SATA-II is guaranteed to have NCQ, butthis one is the 7200.8, so yes it has it.

BTW, P-ATA had tagged command queuing but only selected disks (some IBM), selected controllers (e.g. in Intel BX440) and selected OSes (e.g. FreeBSD) would actually implement it.
 
Recently purchased a Seagate 160 and received $50 rebate within 4 weeks... closer to 3, actually.
Seems like they've improved their turnaraound.

Thanks for the find, OP.
 
I recently grabbed one of these (the SATA version) off the FS/FT forum, and checking Maxtor's site indicated that the drive does indeed support NCQ.

Edit: Shoulda' read all the way down.
