    Try Pricegrabber. Looks like the 100GB version is cheaper.

    Yeah hitachi's are supposed to be the best but you will have more noise and more heat. seagate seems to be quieter and cooler. Plus if it matters any they are american company. If I were to buy my own drive or have a choice when buying I would go seagate
