It's an ok drive for purely storage uses. And for this price? Makes it sweeter.

this should be common for the summer... what a great time to load up on storage.

Agreed, blackfriday this year should see 2TB down to about $150 and later this summer 1TB SSD for under $500.

Not a bad deal for now though.

You've posted the Hitachi 7K1000B, It's better than an ok drive, even for OS purposes.

Personally i'm waiting for the faster 64gb SSD drives to hit the $100 mark. I may break down before that and pick up a good 32gb to fool around with...getting tired of waiting

I got mine for $110 via a newegg combo deal (happy dance) (see sig, 2nd generation SLC Samsung 64GB SSD).
