Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 200GB 7200rpm 2.5-inch $80
- $20 MIR = $60 :woot:
This is the highest rated Laptop HD on the Egg (5 eggs with 219 reviews)
Also it's going for $156 there, so this deal will save you almost $100

Now $73AR (still a good deal thou, IMO)
$83 cheaper then the Egg

I see the price is now $72.99? Still seems like a great deal, just a price change, though.

I have 2 of these drives for ~1 year and did not have a single problem. One is in ThinkPad T61 and one is in MacMini. Drives were pulled from external units (with DTG* serial number).

Many people associate Deathstar drives from 5-7 years ago with current Hitachi drives. The association does not have any facts to support it besides the fact that current Hitachi drive business was bought from IBM that had Deathstar fiasco many, many years ago.

Damn, that does seem like a really good deal. My Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop came with an 80gb SATA HDD, and I'd like to upgrade it, but I just can't justify doing so (I don't really NEED it, I just WANT it.)

Every hard drive brand/model has its lemons. This is a very highly rated drive and it performs well. I bought one when previously listed at BB (external DTG model) and have had no problems in my Thinkpad.

prices on this item fluctuate. right now at zzf it's $79.99 - $20 rebate = $59.99 plus shipping
At the egger, it's $66.99 AR with free shipping.

fwiw i've owned and used the 100MB 2nd gen version every day over two years and have not had any problems.

The 7K320 320GB SATA II version is $69.99AR ($99.99-$30MIR) - basically $10 for an extra 120GB...

Also the 320GB model consumes less power, as per the specification on ZZF "Lowest power consumption — 22% improvement over 7K200"

Hence I feel the 320 is a better deal

Yup, looks like I'll be returning the 7K200 for the 7K320, damn it, I wish I would've seen this first.
