    Dang, this is a good deal. It was a great deal at $80, so this is even better. I've got two of them myself, might pick up a third and/or fourth with this deal.

    I'll see if I can get some HDTune benchmarks posted on the site tonight for my 750GB Black RAID1 array.

    great drive. almost bought it. then I saw the 1TB Hitachi for $65 and I had to bite. I realized I need storage space more than performance.

    if you don't need megastorage, get the Caviar Black.

    I would have...but I'm down to my last 15GB on my 1TB laptop here...ridiculous, I know. But it's where I am. So I've gotta go for space. the more the merrier.
