    This is a fantastic deal - I picked up one yesterday from TD. Normally I order everything from Newegg but TD's price is unbeatable right now. $89.99 - $15 = $74.99 for the fastest notebook hard drive on the market.

    I have been using this drive in my HP notebook for about a week and a half (testing/reviewing for another site), and it has been fantastic. Very quiet, very very little vibration, and very fast. It is a great improvement over my Seagate 7200.4 in terms of noise/vibration.

    With Bing @ 15% for TD right now, you'll take off $13.50 before rebate.

    Its a great deal, but I live in FL so I pay tax, that hurts the deal a bit and I only see 8-10% cashback for bing, not 15% and I dont see the bing confirm dialog on anywhere before the final "payment ok" button. It will probably work but a lot of sites it shows the bing cashback logo somewhere so you know your ok.

    May as well get a enclosure with the order need $10 more for free shipping and shipping is $7.00 for me....

    If Bing is activated, you should see the amount of cashback in your cart.

    To get 15%, try searching Toshiba.
