    This is a pretty solid price on a very rated drive.

    Has anyone actually tried out GHD as yet? They came from out of nowhere a couple of months back and I've had no luck at finding any reviews of them or any feedback at all on how they are as a company.

    Nice drive, nice price. 7200rpm is the only way to go these days. stay away form 5400 RPM or slower.

    Shippping can take a while. I ordered a usb adapter with 5db antenna https://www.goharddrive.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=G05-0021 on 09/15/08 [11:30 AM--their time] and it has not arrived yet---shipped on Thursday the 18th after an email[pretty quick reply] asking when it will be shipped--don't know if it had anything to do with them shipping it right after ---you pay for that free shipping in time..If you are not in a hurry and the price is right go for it. 7 day ground delivery is AFTER it leaves the warehouse which can be 1-2-3.... days +7 if you live on East Coast---cannot track the order although i was given a tracking number

    I guess I am used to Newegg

    They seem ok to deal with---I will use them again...prices are low on some items--not necesseraliy the hard drives though..

    #6, You're a Moron! Your link is for a 5400rpm drive, BIG difference between the two, Moron!

    Actually #7 and #8 it is the same drive (Kettle calling the pot Black), both have the same 7200 RPM, SATA 2 (3.0 GBps) and 16 MB of Cache.

    So we see the Morons calling the Smart ones Morons.

    OK, no longer a deal. Newegg drop their price by $30, so they are now $10 less including 3 day shipping.

    Don't bother. They removed the reviews and the listing. I guess when you change names, you start fresh. If I recall correctly, they had a lifetime of 3-something and a 6 month of 2.1 rating. I guess that's why they did what they did.
