Good price. Not sure what the warranty is, tho'. Seagate used to cover their drives for 5 years. And to boot, this is a bare drive, as opposed to retail boxed. Then again, I've used only Seagates (bare and retail), never had any problems, and lost all my receipts anyway....

Bare drives are always 1 year warranty. You need to get the retail box to get 5 years.
