A good price, but I wish Hitachi was updating the specs in the same way Seagate has. Only an 8MB buffer? Is this perpendicular?

Agreed,,,Now a 16MB buffer would've been sweet!

Fantastic. Especially considering most of the deals now are for SATA drives yet most of the enclosures take PATA drives. This one will make a great replacement for my mediacenter USB drive.

If your using this in a Tivo or Replay DVR buffer is a non-issue. I just ordered one to upgrade my Toshiba SD-H400 Tivo.

BTW, this same drive is $179.95 AR at Fry's B&M in Indy. I drove home to save $50.00 and order on-line.

Strange... it still says $159.99 online, but when you add to cart, it changes to $219.99

Actually, people on AVS are reporting ReplayTV issues with Seagate 16MB Cache drives, so I'd avoid them...

I think this is the 7K500 model with 5x 100GB platters. People with Tivo/settop boxes probably should avoid this, because it's not very quiet and runs hot.

Hitachi does have the T7K500 with 3x 166GB, but I haven't seen that on sale yet. But it's good value per GB for people that need storage.

Outpost starts its new sales on Fridays, so the deal is over now...

Great deal at $0.24 a gig on a 500GB drive (finally!). I have to laugh, though, that you cut and paste Outpost's typo on "Warranty."

Bummer... it'd be nice if prices were kept current.
THX!

Ordered this drive for $169.99 on Wednesday
Spent 45 minutes on hold to get $10 credit price adjustment on Thursday.
Drive came today (Friday - expected shipping date was Monday).

The label on the box says 16mb cache!!

The drive is labeled HDS725050KLAT80 and is listed as 8mb cash on Hitachigst web site.

I gues there's no easy way to check the cache size.

Mine, too, but Everest says the cache is 8MB (and 5 platters, BTW). Guess it was easier to print one box for the P- and S-ATA.

But 24 hours shipped ground from OH to IL helps to make up for it. There's no substitute for cubic inches!

Yes I'm one of them - I jumped on the $99 400GB Seagate memorial day sale. Ended up with one of the 16 MB cache -620A drives. Nice drive but couldn't get it to work well in my ReplayTV 5040.

Oh well, maybe something will come up on Black Friday...
