Not a deal if you have to pay tax ($4.47 in NJ) & shipping ($6.99), which brings it to $68.36. Assuming it's the OEM (since it doesn't end with -RK), Buy.com has this drive for $66.93, free shipping & no tax in NJ.

I have this drive and am happy with it. It's quick and quiet. Check the firmware when you get it with Sea tools. Some of them shipped with an old firmware that caused a performance hit. Mine shipped with the latest firmware. The firmware problem was back at the begining of the year so they should have sold that stock by now.

#10, you're an idiot. No current drive can exceed 1.5 anyway.
