It's a fast @ss drive! Good deal but at the same time ~$70 @ the egg with FS is about the same deal.

 

[jalaram]

AFAICT, Directron never has FS.

 

[DBissett]

Didn't think about shipping. I'm in Houston so I pick up. And no, I don't think they ever advertise FS.

I'm seeing $75 on newegg and for some there is sales tax (would add $5.81 for me)

$68.99 w/ FS at ZZF.

Just got to wait two more days and I can order this!

Best price is still at Amazon at $69.99 with free shipping and no tax almost everywhere

This is prob the best all around drive you can buy today.
I use it exclusively
And the 320GB is not as good performance wise due to firmware that deliberately throttles

 

[cheap]

Is this on par with slightly more expensive Black drive or is Black still better?

 

[Bozo Galora]

Actually, at these prices the black (32MB Cache WD6401AALS) is the better deal
I bought my last one for $87

Not even close

Using the $70 Amazon price, the $87 Black carries a 24% premium yet gets nowhere near 24% more performance.

I have a 6400AAKS in my desktop and what is likely another 6400AAKS or maybe blue edition in my 640GB WD external. Great drives.

ZipZoomFly beats out Amazon by $1.00.
I'll say it... "Best price is still at ZipZoomFly at $68.99 with free shipping" :laugh:

Ya, but money well spent for the warm fuzzy feeling it gives most geeks! (Including me 🙂.)
