Alright newegg.. it's time for you to start lowering your prices, clearly
Grabbed one of these a few months ago for $70. When I saw this one for $100 I grabbed one...hard to find a 2TB at this price during these post flood days.
Price now shows $149
Seagate could have improved the quality and kept the warranty at 5 years. Looks like they can't keep replacing all these bad drives long term and make a profit. Give the gift of data loss for Christmas, give a Seagate.
5900 RPM? Good as a second drive. I wouldn't load my OS on this.
C_Los, how could you not load your OS with this? Do you have any idea media density play into overall speed. This drive clocks in at almost 140MB/s read write and has some of the lowest latency in its class, which is plenty fast for OS loading. http://www.storagereview.com/seagate_barracuda_green_2tb_review_st2000dl003
