Newegg has the Seagate ST95005620AS Momentus XT 500GB Solid State Hybrid Drive for $130 - $30 off with coupon code EMCNHHB38 [Exp 3/5] = $100 with free shipping. Features SSD-like performance with hard drive capacity, Adaptive Memory technology to optimize performance, and claims 80 percent faster performance than traditional 7200RPM drives in benchmark scores.
You're counting the coupon as part of the price; instead, look at the $130 price. We're about 35-40% above normal, and the hd mfrs are in no hurry to lower them back down in order to take profit when they can.
This was close to the price before the floods... is it over?

we need to start buying SSDs to get these bastards back in line.
I"ll start buying HDD's again when I see $100 3 TB drives. There are tons of great SSD deals lately.
