EagleBit.com has the Western Digital Caviar GP WD10EACS 1TB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive for $169 + $1 shipping = $170 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]

    While this is a good price for a 1tb hard drive, keep in mind that it is considerably slower than other 1tb hard drives. For example, the Samsung F1 1TB hard drive has data transfer rates of approximately 60% faster than this WD GP 1TB drive.

    The WD GP drives offer slightly lower power draw and heat(or considerably less heat, when compared to the Hitachi 1TB drive), so they would be a good choice if you're planning to put a drive in a USB enclosure.

    I'll buy one of these WD GP drives any day, as long as it's not my main boot drive. It's fast enough for vid conversions and I use them mainly for media storage, either in internal desktop/server cases or external USB cases. These (I have 4 now) drives are the coolest running units I've ever owned - my main reason to buy these. Temps are lower than a toasted bagel, even after 5 hours of reading/writing activity.

    This a great price. I would buy if I needed more now.

    Newegg price $189 free ship
    Buy.com price $190.62 free ship

    I think Staples or some other office site had a good price this weekend as well.
