Cool, thanks for the tip as their rebate is not quite so obvious. With Best Buy I can use rewardzone too

The $70 rebate is for purchases at CompUSA only. What am I missing here with the BB angle?

I picked one up yesterday for a new system build and it's the quietest drive I've ever owned. Great deal, thanks.

I picked up one of these last time they ran the special and I'm using it in my new Athlon 2500+ system (OC of course). The thing is fast and silent. No complaints.

Well, dead silent when it's not doing random access... I bought one to put in my DirecTivo. I think it's alot louder than the Maxtor I had before. When it's doing the read/write/accessing, there is alot of 'clicky' sounds. :( But when it's not doing anything, it's very quiet. ;) So, depends on your use. If you put this in your PC, I am sure you will enjoy it. People are recommending another model with the 'liquid ballbearing' or something, not sure if this one has it.

Best Buy also has a $70 rebate. It prints out when you buy it.

Got this very nice drive. Replaced my Dell 4550's crunchy Maxtor. The included seagate software copied my old hard disk and boots up fine, except I had to repair office and my recycle bins got corrupted.

My 5 month old WD 200gig gave off a high pitched whine. I can live with 120 gigs.

Thanks OP! My sunday paper didn't have the Compusa insert.

If anyone has a new one of these they'd like to sell PM me. I'd pay $90 shipped Paypal for one.
