    Get a Seagate Momentus 7200.2 160GB notebook hard drive for only $116.10 @ Dell.com. Sale price is $129 minus 10% off for PayPal payments = $116.50.

    Drive is guaranteed brand new (by four different customer service representatives, two from America, two from India) and comes with 1-year warranty.

    Features:
    * Provides up to 160 GB storage space
    * Features SATA interface
    * Offers 7200 RPM spindle speed

    For more info, visit Seagate's website.

    EDIT:
    This hard drive does not have G-Shock Protection, but if your laptop already has an accelerometer on the motherboard (eg. Lenovo ThinkPad, Apple Macbook & Macbook Pro, Dell Latitude, HP business-series, etc.) then G-Shock Protection is negligible anyway.

    That's what it said when I purchased a few weeks ago, but shipping wasn't slow at all. I ordered Friday night, got it Monday via DHL. Crazy, I know. This isn't the XPS m1330. :D

    Um.....if the title says 7200.2, I meant 7200.2. Not to mention, 160GB 7200.1 drives don't exist.
