Newegg has the Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive for $79.99 after a $5 off coupon (EMCAJCGBK) for email subscribers with free shipping.

It wasn't that long ago peole were saying tht about 80GB drives!
Just so you know, that was specifically a reference to Bill Gate's legendary quote he probably never really said.. '640K of memory should be enough for anybody.' Especially hits since the number part is the same.

I haven't priced HDD for a while, I'm planning an upgrade in the next few months, should I hold off and buy the hdd's later or is this a smoking deal?

this is one of the fastest drives out there (if not the fastest), but the price can't go much higher even without the $5 promo discount. If you need it in a few months, I would recommend you wait until black friday sales.
Got mine on Friday. Just downloaded WD utilities and have been running disk diagnostics. I just noticed that under the SMART checks only three items are checked for warranty, while older WD80gb IDE boot drive has 7 items checked. WD640 also has temp sensor and shows 112F.
Does this mean that warranty only covers these specific items (1,2 & 4) out of about 20 items?
