These are retail Sata2 units with 16mb cache ST3300622AS-RK. Beats Froogles best price by at least $35~$40 when you factor in shipping.

Edit: 5 year warranty

Link to deal: http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4795199

Edit: Be sure to check out the deal posted by sir_skippy below, it costs around the same per Gb and it's a faster drive than the one i posted...

Don't forget that newegg has the 7200.10 perpendicular 320gb SATA II 16mb cache drives fro $99 w/ free ship.

Its been in a state of "One day sale" or "Weekend Sale" for about a week now, so there's no telling how much longer this is going to last.

Do you know if that drive is "faster" than the one i posted or faster than the Hitachi T72K250?

Thanks in advance for any insight, will do some research in the meantime.
 
IIRC the 7200.10 is the fastest SATA drive short of a raptor.
 
Unfortunately I don't have any other links to refer you to, but this drive has comparable performance to a 74gb raptor drive, I have been told by several people that this drive just barely outperforms said raptor by about 2% to 3%. But like I said, I don't have any links to back it up. However, I do own one and it is just as fast as the raptor that I have. Hope that helps.
 
well i bit... had to use two different residences though.. what a pain in the ass
 
Brief searches on google back up what you fellas are saying

Great deal and thanks for the heads up, buying one now :cool:

You bit on sir skippy's deal right? That drive is faster/newer than the one i posted
 
Someone buy me the one with perpendicular technology and I will trade you my 74gig raptor for it, I need space more then I need speed.
