Use Google Checkout to get $20 of $50 for a final price of $69.70 shipped.

Your title is right, but the post says "$60.70"

Yeah, but seems like a good deal. ZZF has it for ~$80

Edit: Especially if you want to RAID, and getting 3 of these instead of a 750GB for near $300.

Not that great a deal. Newegg has them for $74.

Newegg is $81 shipped vs $69.70 shipped

$74.18 for me because of tax, but its still a great deal. BTW, this is the model with a 16Mb buffer (as opposed to the lower 8Mb). Thx Op.

Because if you use PayPal and signed up for the $20 rebate. Then you would get $20.00 back from your purchase at the Egg sometime early next year.

I rather get the instant Google CHeck out discount than wait for the Paypal ****** rebate

Actually, that one is the 7200.9, 8MB version, for $74.99. The 16MB 7200.10 version is $89.99. Although they also have a 320GB, 16MB 7200.10 drive for $89.99.

How loud are these drives? Anyone have any experience with them?

 

[Syndicate]

I have two setup in RAID-0. Very quiet in my opinion. Performs fine, no problems, seeking isn't too annoying in my Lian Li. I've heard louder, I've heard quieter.

I had a WD 250GB 16MB (SE16?) that was louder.

not bad using the $20 off checkout tricks. thanks

 

[DaneGuy]

How good are these drives compared to others? I've been out of the HD loop for a while.

Thanks.
