    Weird, I can't find the rpm speed anywhere. I'll assume it's 5400rpm since it seems to be all about staying cool without fans...

    I think Fantom uses Western Digital drives, so this is likely the Green Power drive which is 5400 to 7200 depending on which site you look at.

    Wow, what a bunch of retards, I can't believe these sites, all they do is make people THINK they are going to get a great deal and rip it away.

    Thanks for the responses, guys. I always thought TigerDirect was a little shady. My one dealing with them left me feeling like I never wanted to go back there again.

    Thanks again for validating my opinion of them!

    Fantom makes a fine product, and that is a sweet price.
