    Hey all

    ZipZoomFly.com has a great deal going for the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB OEM drive. It is usually $130 + and now it is $99.99. Here is the link: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10008824&prodlist=celebros. This is by far one of the best 3.5" hard drives out for real-life usage. It is in the top 3 or so, but has been reported to have arguably the best in real-time usage. Make sure to save your receipt and register your drive to get the full 5 years of warranty from the date of purchase, not of production. Also, try looking for a ZZF coupon to reduce the cost of shipping.

    You can get the seagate 1tb for 79 bucks shipped often on dell.com. They have had the deal for like 3 weeks now.

    Western Digital is significantly better than Seagate IMHO. I believe the issue that pushed them over the edge were their 1.5tbs...

    What do you mean? The 1tb's are ok with the firmware update.
