    Nice deal but yesterday I picked up a 2TB Samsung drive at Newegg for $79.99 with free shipping. :)

    Thanks for your suggestion, the Samsung 2TB HD certainly seems to be a good deal. However, I presume it's a desktop HD; since the Hitachi Travelstar 0S02858 is a notebook PC HD, the two cannot be compared fairly on the basis of price or performance. A 2TB notebook PC for $79.99 would indeed be an incredible deal! :)
