    WD 2.5" 320GB SATA 7200rpm 16mb Notebook Hard Drive, WD3200BJKT, $97.13 + Free Shipping
    WD Scorpio® Black Mobile Hard Drive, WD3200BJKT, 320 GB, 3 Gb/s, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM w\Free-Fall Sensor, 5Yr Warranty, @ Buy.com

    Free-fall sensor - As an added layer of protection, if the drive (or the system it’s in) is dropped while in use, WD’s free-fall sensor detects that the drive is falling and, in less than 200 milliseconds, parks the head to help prevent damage and data loss.

    WD Product Page: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Pr...riveID=477

    It's the same drive as the WD3200BEKT, but this one has the Free-Fall Sensor.

    This should probably be in the deals section.

    I paid $90 for my 160gb model, thanks for making me feel like I got ripped off ;)

    Buy.com loves to play with the prices. Wait for it to go back to the cheaper price point.

    They also have the 5400RPM for $87 which is pretty good, make a nice storage drive. I am still waiting for 500GB drives to get here.
