The SATA drive is fluid dynamic bearing, which is good & WD's site shows it's more quiet than some of the other WD models, but loud compared to other company's offerings. The only review I could find was for the 250GB model: http://www.storagereview.com/a...0030904WD2500JD_1.html This review indicates that WD uses a PATA-to-SATA conversion chip, but the review is old (September 4, 2003). Does anyone know if this bridge is still used and/or if there are any other reviews? Thanks!

i dont know, last i read, there were very few 'true' sata drives(most used some kind of conversion chip or something)
also, i read that not many sata drives support command cueing(?)(i think thats what its called)

AFAIK, Seagate is only native SATA drive in the mainstream market. (Except Raptor :p) And for NCQ, again, Seagate is only offering the feature with thier newest line-up (300GB+ models), AFAIK.

"asap"? what does "asap" mean? I know what "A.S.A.P." means, but I can't figure out "asap". :D ;)

Go further down on the page to the listings and you'll see the drives. Click on the drive(s) and you see rebates below. Note the Antec case is a tempting deal too! I used to like 15 minutes from a Microcenter... Hrm.. 8.75% tax or shipping? Hrm ;).

Keep in mind that since these are retail boxed WD drives, only 1-year warranty on them. Still a good price, just wanted to make sure everyone knows these aren't the 3-year variety.

I guess the SATA drive deal is dead now. If you click the link, it says 'No result found'.. Nuts..
