Newegg has the Hitachi 1.5tb 7200rpm drive for $55 is want faster (but more power usage)
I agree with #1, $5 more for a 7200rpm drive is good enough for me. I can understand going with a cooler/less power use drive, but the lack of savings just don't justify it.
Thanks #1. I needed some extra internal space on my linux box, so I ordered one of the Hitachi's. 3 yr warranty and 7200 rpm for the Hitachi vs. 2 yr warranty and 5900 rpm for the Seagate -- it was a no brainer. Plus, 3.93 cents/GB is an awesome price.
It's not always about savings it's about fitness for purpose.
If I had to I'd pay $5 more for the cooler, lower power, lower noise, and longer lasting 5200K or 5900K RPM HDD "IF" it's for bulk storage.
Why are green drives cheaper when they still have to have the frame, motor, PCB, controller, memory, platters, arm, heads, etc? Because all else being equal it costs HDD manufacturers less to provide warranty replacement on that series. HDD failure rate goes up as RPM does.
