This is today's Shell Shocker deal so grab them while you can. I just grabbed one myself.

yeah, very decent price I paid 120 for this although it was a long time ago.

dang, i just bought the 500 for $60

How does the reliability of Samsung compare to WD or Seagate?

Please read the number of complaints at http://bacon.com/5ybzch before buying. The QC isn't as good as with previous drives.

Instead of bacon I wrote bacon. Go to bacon.com/5ybzch

This is embarrassing. Instead of bacon I wrote bacon. It simply leads to the complaints on Newegg about this drive.

So which would be a better alternative, Seagate or WD?

#6 & #7 ... did you need something from me?

WD is the best now.

I have brought drives from WD, Seagate, and Samsung in the past. All are still working. Bottom line, drive quality is a crap shoot at best. Of course, I would recommend reading the link below before buying Seagate and avoid the models listed on their site.
