    hey i found a pretty nice deal on a 200GB Hitachi 7k200 HDD for $120 shipped + $20 rebate = $100.

    lol thanks for the model number help =P

    i saw the data sheets yesterday. i'm a nub when it comes to this stuff so i had no idea what i was lookin at in the first place lol.

    but for the last few weeks, i've been browsin this forum alot...i just wanna thank all u guys that have given me any input cuz my brain has just turned into a big notebook sponge lol.

    and there says there's a 3-year warranty on the link that i posted. could anyone confirm it for me 100% i might just order it right now :D

    If there is a 3 year manufacturer's warranty, then go for it....!! It is quite cheap as compared to the 7K320.. :p
    and a pretty fast hdd too..!! I dont know anything about that seller, but get a proper invoice (proof of purchase), with all the VAT paid and stuff so that you can present it to Hitachi whenever you have the need to send in the drive on warranty..!!....

    Good Luck :)
