    Price added.

    With the dormant-account $25 coupon, this drive is only $48.71 with tax. I may get this for my TV desktop :)

    Almost as good as the $59.99 price TigerDirect had for Black Friday. I still have a second (unopened) one that I bought back then, so I'll probably pass on this for now.

    And before we have a "OH NO IT'S SEAGATE" comment, mine's been working fine since Thanksgiving.

    good deal. If I didn't have a sea of Caviar Green already I might have picked this up. Nothing wrong with Seagate. Although I'm tempted since I do need two more 2TB drives.

    Unless you're doing some diabolically large RAID array, why not. They're an excellent price, and your Seagates can be friends with your Western Digitals.

    I know, but I may use these drives in a RAID when I switch over to VAIL (Windows Home Server 2) and would rather have all same kind if I can help it. 7 2TB drives would be a crazy big array :)
