Office Max has the Western Digital 80gig with the 8meg cache for $80 plus tax - $20 rebate - $30 rebate = $45 depending on the tax rate in your area.....I live in Connecticut not sure if this is a nation wide sale.
As a side note : They were out of the drives when I went to the store so they checked the warehouse and said they could have it shipped to me in two days for free...so I agreed. When the UPS truck arrived I heard a thud and the doorbell rang. There is my package all beat up! It looked as if someone had played soccer with it. And when I opened it up I found absoulutely no packing material whatsoever. Just the retail package bounceing about. I did complain to the store who does not have any drives in stock yet and they said i could return it within 14 days if it does not work. I had to bring the drive back to get the rebate reciepts because they did not give me any when the drive was ordered and I forgot to ask for them. Anyway they said I could bring the drive back to the store so they could rering the drive and print out the reciepts. Just as they said I had to give the drive to the clerk and he returned the drive had me sign a reciept then gave me the money back and rerang up the drive and took the money back and finally gave me the rebate reciepts....sorry for the long story but I needed to vent.
