Ends today. Newegg has the Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (Bare Drive) for $110 - $30 off with coupon code EMCNDNJ42 [Exp 6/7] = $80 with free shipping. Features a one-year limited warranty.
Interesting reviews. Love or hate - some with excellent results - others having failures in 18 months or so. This seems to be the depressing trend of the industry - products that retailers get out the door ( and manufacturers off the assembly line) with only the promise of a guarantee to sweeten the purchaser into buying. The lucky ones get a good product, but the others must swallow their losses.
I have had 2 Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ (500GB) drives for 3.5+ years and 1 Spinpoint F3EG HD203WI (2TB) drive that has been going for 2 years +2months, all without issue. I would not hesitate to recommend the samsung spinpoint f3 drives to my friends

1TB for $80. Pass.
One year warranted, carefully designed to fail at 18 months, shows the confidence Seagate has in it.
