Buy.com has the Western Digital Caviar GP WD10EACS 1TB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive for $115 + $0 shipping = $115 shipped. This a brand new drive covered by the original 3-year warranty. Just think of the joy you'll have when it finally fails. [BizRate]

    This is the "green" low-power model. A new improved version is out, the WD10EADS.

    To hell with the drive, what's up with the Seagate Troll? I thought Seagate was well regarded and have lots of Western Digital trouble over the years. Am I wrong?

    The caviar black is the way to go for speed right now, but I think the Samssung spinpoint F1 is much cheaper and only a little slower. This thing spins down to 6400 RPM, how does that affect its overall spead?

    I have two of these in a mirrored external NAS and they are perfect for what I need. They are fast enough for 100 MBPS ethernet between server and desktop for large transfers (Ie. the network is the bottleneck, not the disk or server). I have never had problems with WD from a quality standpoint.
