    It has a very good discount (60$ off). Anyone should get it if they care about performance!

    Does Hitachi make any bigger drives that are 7200rpms, or is 200Gb the largest?

    Best shopping for stuff like this is online. I went to bestbuy the other day looking to buy a single stick 2GB pc2-5300 and was in shock when the sticker price was almost $200. I found one of ebay for $40. Take that Bestbuy.

    Just go and ask for a price match. Return it if they don't want to. What's so hard? :D

    It's a large difference in prices and it's worth doing the returning thing. Specially if you got it not too long ago. ;)
