EDIT* kirbyrj makes a good point for NewEgg shoppers

Newegg has the same deal for $1 more in SATA and $2 less if IDE. They also have the Maxline III's for $108 shipped I think.

I just picked one up from Newegg myself on Sunday. Got the package today and it didn't have the HDD in it :eek: . A phone call later they are sending it :rolleyes: . Good thing I don't need it right away.
 
first they have been at this price 4 awhile
second newegg 4 me =tax
third I have 2 laying around and am waiting for my new mobo to get here to test so I can lyk how loud they are l8r
 
Newegg has the maxline III 250gb oem sata (which is supposed to be slightly faster and more reliable) and has a 5 year warranty for $105 as well. Maxline3 drives are supposed to be more reliable. I know some, like me, have tax at the egg, but still, you also get 5 years warranty as opposed to 3 years for diamondmax10.
 
I have the DM3 300GB version and it works fine. It's quieter than my Raptor ;) .
 
They're pretty quiet. I dropped one in my TiVo, and I can hear just the slightest bit of noise when it's writing. It's certainly not at all annoying. Maybe if you're going for a silent rig, it would be too noisy, but even for HTPC rigs where you want it pretty close to silent, it's fine.

ZZF has that same drive for a dollar less and with free second day shipping. Cant beat that. Newegg has it for 107 with $3 3 day shipping (not including tax to NJ, CA, and TN residents) so Id get from ZZF
 
FYI, if youre in CA, then youll pay tax on ZZF and newegg. Monarch is where you wanna order from. :p
