Great price. Just installed my Seagate Barracuda IV (40 GB) a couple of days ago. Really quiet!

I believe in my two years at Anandtech, this is the first time I found something before it was posted here.

Can you hear it when it's seeking? How does the noise compare to your case/cpu fans?

Hmm... throw in some amex blue loving and it'll be $100 shipped! Good deal, but don't really need a HD at the moment!

This is one hella good drive - I have the 40 GB model and I will pick up this one too. This drive is truly silent, can't hear it at idle nor when it's seeking even if I you put your ear close to it.

Ooh, I need a bigger drive. Don't have any Seagates and considering the new rep on IBM drives, I think I'll have this one.

I can not hear any spindle sounds. I do hear just the faintest sound as it seeks. My case is very quiet. I'm one of those who can't stand noisy fans. I replaced all my fans and the only noise left was the whine of my Western Digital Drive. The Seagate replaced that!

Would you give up 20 gigs of space but get much better reliability and lower volumes than another brand at the same price?

(wondering if this is the almost the same deal as another hd thread out there)

This is one drive I had been thinking of getting from newegg. Its a good deal with the rebate, although still don't know if I want to spend that much, as I hate rebates.

Not sure if I am missing something, but the rebate doesn't mention how long it will take to get.

I wonder who is handling the rebates for this?

Rebate is being handled by Seagate (or a representative of Seagate). Term # 11 on rebate form indicates that all claims will be handled within 60 days of receipt.
