    EHH! I can get this SAME EXACT drive for $55.56 from ASI local to me, PLUS I can get Western Digital 500GB 5400RPM blue drives for $48 too.

    ~Rob - not impressed~

    So you can get it for $6 more locally using your wholesale contacts, or you can get a WD drive with half the cache for $2 less.

    Somehow this fact makes the NewEgg deal a BAD deal?

    Jeez Rob... How bout they come out and install it for free too... Would THAT make you happy?

    Hey now! Not a personal attack! You are right on the WD having half the cache though!
