You have to manually ask them, and it probably depends on the mood of whoever answers your email or phone.

this is a good deal if tax doesn't apply to your state. for me, since im from cali, the Directron deal saved me a few dollars on tax, but I rather have the Newegg customer service

I bought two of these a few months ago. You won't believe how quiet these drives are. Even a disk-thrashy operation like a defrag is whisper quiet.

Don't forget to check the jumper. I think they ship w/ the jumper in place and you have to take it off to enable the 3.0Gb/s.

I have 100s and 100s of GBs of unused HDD space that I doubt I'll ever use. What I'm looking for is performance. Any good deals on Raptors? Even 36GB or 74GB pulls are OK for RAID0.

Honestly, with the gb/platter density on the newer drives, they have the same/higher mb/s as a raptor. Although, the raptors do have better access times by far.

In for 2! This should work nicely for holding all my virtual machines.

From ChiefValue: Sales tax is required for orders shipping to California, New Jersey, Puerto Rico(FedEx shipping method) and Tennessee.
Also, they charge $6.30 for shipping! Not a good deal!

I have no experience with ChiefValue, but it says "Free Three Business Day Shipping" right on the page.

This is the best drive I've ever owned. Its fast and quiet. I would buy another but don't need it. Don't waste you time though writing a review for ChiefValue, as they never post it. I bought mine from ChiefValue a couple months ago.

WD640s perform just as well (in most cases) as the 36GB and 74GB Raptors. Plus it's quieter, uses less power and it's cheaper than Raptors.

Do you remember which jumper that is labeled? I didn't change any jumper on mine, and its easily twice as fast as any of my other sata or ide drives.

None of the WD6400AAKS drives I purchased from Newegg were jumpered, but good tip anyway. According to this Western Digital page, a jumper on pins 5 & 6 would limit the drive to 150MB/sec (SATA I).

I've been looking to buy another hard drive. This one seems to be universally loved by both consumer reviewers and professional reviewers.

FYI

CA FatWalleters can also buy this drive from Axiontech.com Link. They're based on Dallas, so no tax and they offer free shipping. My total was $89.99.

Everyone one should buy from Newegg.

first 18 reviews on Newegg are one-star reviews - what the F.

Seems like none of the harddrives out there are as reliable as they used to be. Unless of course the reviews have been fabricated...

Can I put this drive in a NAS enclosure and use it as a Network drive with my combined Mac and PC computers?

1st of all there are a total of 17 1star reviews.
2nd you probably have sorted by lowest rating selected.
