GoHardDrive.com has the Western Digital Caviar GP WD10EACS 1TB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive for $150 + $7 shipping = $157 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]

    I am dealing with a failed 750GB WD drive. I can only imagine the additional joy from 1TB.

    EDIT: I moved my WD7500AAKS from an external Antec enclosure to inside the case and it worked. Diagnostics tests passed. So no failure of the WD.

    Less than $0.16 per MB. So happy to see memory still dropping in price.

    #2, $0.16 per MB is an extraordinarily high price

    Joy is backing up a 2GB RAID5 array to a 2GB RAID1 array and knowing that dealing with lost data is a thing of the past. Smile

    I'd take the Seagate for $4 more. Better drive reputation, better cache.

    GP is their lame version of 1 TB. Get the newer black Caviar 1 TB. That one uses 3 (3x334) high density platters. More reliable, faster and longer warranty.

    #7 do you not understand the purpose of the GP line?

    This needs to have twice as much cache to make me consider it.
