Thanks! I've been looking for another 750 that was reasonably priced, and this is perfect.

No prob, would make an excellent storage hard drive for an HTPC as well! 😀
 
I think that 16MB cache means that this is a 7200.10 and not 7200.11, though I could be wrong (and it may not matter, anyways).

Wasn't this what people said about the 7200.9 drives being more reliable when the 7200.10 first came out? 😕

Anyways, looks like the deal is dead. Comes up at $99 with free shipping for me.

Hmmm, is this the return of HDD deals at Fry's? I probably bought around 15 retail boxed HDDs from Frys.com back when they regularly ran deals. I'm now looking to replace 'em all. 😀 Not because they don't work, but because the bulk of them are EIDE (I used an external multi-drive chassis with pull-out trays) and 500GB or smaller.
 
Is this a 2 or 3 platter? I like the 640 GB cuz they're 2 platter. Something about 110 GB more for another platter (noise++) isn't terribly exciting. Anyone know?

Actually, I believe this drive uses 4 platters (188GB each). I would have jumped on the deal this morning if the price had stayed at $80 but Fry's screwed around (briefly upping the price to $100) and I ended up buying three of the WD 640GB drives from Newegg for a very similar price per GB (and better performance).
 
had a 750gb 7200.11 die on me after 4 months. it was part of a media center as the system drive and just storage for movies so it did not get extremely over used (recorded TV went to a separate drive). On the bright side it was a slow death that allowed me to save most my info. Hope it was a fluke and/or the 7200.10 version is more reliable. Other then that i cannot complain about this quick drive.
 
picked up two, thx. was gonna get 2x500 pata's fpr 59 each for my Legacy system, but I guess I can get a PCI SATA II card and use these.
 
I woulda pulled trigger but....to be honest with black friday right around the corner I thought it would be dumb jumping on a deal.
