    I wonder where they found these things. Fry's often has the OEM 500GB WD drives for $109, and once for $97. I've got a few of the WD 500 and 750s in a server and they've been flawless -- run much cooler than the Seagates (according to T monitoring) and are quiet.

    Loads of deals ahead folks - when the recession is in full swing. Save your money now - dark clouds ahead...

    Maybe it is 7200.9 but I wouldn't be so sure of it, seems like Frys sometimes doesn't update their product listings when a newer part replaces an old. Could be 72009 though I suppose, wouldn't want to imply it's certain either way.
