Maybe the warranty? I'm not sure, but I thought WD had a 3 year warranty, but this one shows a 5 year warranty.

The AALS "black" drive is a little bit faster. It has the lowest seek times of any 7200rpm hard drive. They say it gives the Raptors a run for their money in terms of overall performance.

$68 is a steal for this hard drive. My one knock against it is that SSDs are the wave of the future.
 
All Black drives have 5 year warranties, which is why I prefer to get them over the Blues and Greens if the cost difference isn't too high.
 
only if damn live.com gave my freakin moneh i would afford this. It said it will be available in 7 days. After 10 days they said they were unable to transfer the money, so I have to wait another 7 days.

The AALS also has a 32mb cache vs. the 16mb of the AAKS.
 
Ya, I bought a 1.5tb for 104, and a 1tb for 69, but still couldn't resist my first 'black' drive at this price.

This is 'the' drive right now. Buy up my geek friends 😀. One day only!
 
I see $83.24 only now. Is the $15 off with paypal dead ?

Update (yep it's dead)
"The PayPal promotion has now ended"
 
Ok, bought it yesterday with the Paypal thing, but I got charged the full $83.24 and there is no mention anywhere of $15 cash back on my final invoice and nothing in paypal, so WTF???

I know for fact before I finished the transaction it mentioned the end price would be $68.24...

Is it because I had no money sitting in paypal and paid via credit card thru paypal?

Should I have used direct bank transfer, or did you need to have cash sitting in your paypal account to make this work?

I received my $15 Paypal cashback this afternoon. I ordered the drive on 12/19 and it shipped on 12/20 with the free shipping but have not received it yet.

Thanks OP!
