Ends 11/8. Newegg has the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C HDS721010CLA332 (0F10383) 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (bulk) for $60 with free shipping.
nismosd, I believe you misread the description. The name of this drive is "Deskstar". Deathstar was that big round thing in star wars that blew up planets with a giant laser. Also an IBM(note, not Hitachi) hard drive from several years back that had a rather high failure rate.
Deathstar was a nickname for a couple drive lines made by IBM before Hitachi bought their HDD division. It was unique in using glass platters then they eventually realized that wasn't such a good idea when the heads crashed and ground off the magnetic surface on a large % of them.
Lots of DOAs in the reviews, so if you get one of these, check it immediately.
they are called "deathStar" for a reason lol....
