    Is this suppose to be a deal? Do the math and you'll see this drive costs $0.08/GB. The 1TB Western Digital green drive AND 1TB Hitachi 7200rpm drive available on newegg are also $0.08/GB.

    My point was that it is not a great deal. But thanks for sharing this "deal".

    Considering this hard drive is 27% off from the MSRP, I'd say it's still a deal. It may not be a steal per se, but still a respectable sale price.

    I don't mean to sound offensive or anything, this is just my 2 cents. Yes, this surely isn't a steal and I can't say it's a deal either if you are a smart shopper. Just because a product is sold under the MSRP doesn't equate to a good deal.
