    got a refurb from Woot for $50 - this is a fair price.

    I've run the refurb for about a month now with zero errors.

    not a bad drive as you can see (7200.11) it has the latest f/w. this drive performs great with all the controllers. i would say it is expensive by say $15-$17

    $30 for another 500gb is a better value. That TB drive is the way to go.

    most of the 1 TB drives I have found that are around $100 usually have a smaller cache and are only 5400 RPM. This is a good price for a reliable brand of drive and if you need a drive for high performance gaming or video editing I would go for quality over quantity. If you need a drive to store movies, songs or videos from your hidden shower cam then I would just pick up a run of the mill TB drive.

    I noticed a pretty big jump from 8-16MB cache. How's the jump from 16-32MB?
