I have not seen it anywhere else for less than $400. This is the 3 platter and arguably fastest 1TB out right now.

Sweet deal. I was waiting for the F1 up until newegg's 1TB for $220 - paypal rebate deal arrived (bit the bullet on that one). I still want the samsung though since it's supposed to be comparably quiet / low heat output / low power while offering significantly better performance.

I'll probably pick up an F1 once the prices drop a little further and switch the western digital into my backup enclosure :p. Just have to wait for my wallet to get over the shock from the western digital drive.
