Thanks.
Looks like $120 or so for a 1TB drive is easy to find now.
Any comments on whether this Seagate or a WD or Samsung would be preferable over the other?
From my understanding, only certain WDs are 3 platter design. Anyone know of others that are 3 platter?
Did you remember they cancel on us one and half month ago on the same drive with the same price due to price error? This time, this price is not that hot for me.

Warranty through Dell SUX! Buy a Seagate drive from anywhere on the internet & you will easily be able to RMA the drive directly to Seagate if the drive fails, EASY, no questions asked.
Buy any drive from Dell & be prepared for VENDOR FROM HELL SUPPORT!
You too can look forward to:
Prepare to be on the phone all day long & still never get a straight answer from any Dell employee even after talking with 10 different people all of which will tell you a different story about what their warranty policy is.
Strain to understand their broken English
Get transfered 15.5 times to another department.
Get Hung Up on (accidentally of course) a dozen times.
One employee may tell you warranty is covered only if your installing in a Dell Computer, then the drive is covered under the computer warranty, but then 6 months later when the drive fails you get a completely different story & are told the drive only had a 20 day replacement warranty & you must go to Hitachi (or Seagate, or Western Digital, or whomever the drive is made by.)
OK, no problem you say? So you go to (Name your OEM HERE) only to be told sorry, even though that is our drive, we do not warranty it directly, only the Manufacture warranties that drive.
Back to Dell, Dell tells you again sorry, that drive came with a 20 day replacement warranty. You must contact the MFG. of the drive for warranty.
Put gun to head: PULL TRIGGER.
Ugh... I hate taxes. It comes out to ~$10 extra with NY tax.

The drive specs say 5 year manufacturers warranty. Shouldn't that be OK?

Yeah, tax sux, and they do not even have physical retail shops.

If it's sold as a retail drive, then it has a 5 year warranty from Seagate. If it's sold as an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) drive, then Seagate expects you to get warranty service through the system manufacturer. In all honesty I've never purchased a bare drive from Dell so I don't know which applies, but I'm perfectly willing to accept IPMD's word in this case. If you need an example of Seagate (or anybodys) VS OEM warranty, get the serial number off of the drive in your system (assuming you bought a pre-built computer from Dell, HP, Gateway, etc) and go to the manufacturers website, click on 'Support' and put that serial number into the warranty checker; chances are it return something like 'system component, please contact your system manufacturer for support or warranty service'.
Good price, but I'm not buying any Barracuda until after November at least...
If you wait a little, more and more 1TB will be around $105.

Huh? $119.55 lowest on live after CashBack. Sure you wern't looking for the 750?
I've been a 5 year die hard supporter of Seagate from their 7200.7 160's to the 7200.10 500's. However, the reviews for this drive don't look pretty. Check Newegg and other impartial review sources and see how many are DOA or die after 3 months. Amazingly the previous winner in this category (of bad drives) (WesternDigital) seems to be much better quality for their 1TB's.
