    I bought this, haven't started using it yet, the one i got from newegg was made in dec 2k7, which means my warranty expires in 2k11. It's possible zipzoomfly has older stock due to it being a less popular store.

    Also this is supposedly a low power consumption drive which explains the low speed.

    Got one of these for $70 a month ago from Newegg and thought it was a good deal. Now it's even cheaper.

    It will drop below 10c per GB very soon.

    I got this from New Egg for $55 AR (seems all the stuff I buy lately is from them...good Etailer). It seems quite reliable..bacon's very quiet. It seems to run a bit hot, but other than that, no complaints so far.

    If you want a 500+ GB drive, this is probably the least expensive you're gonna find for now. Good bang-fer-yer-buck.
