At $25 it isn't a bad price, but don't buy it expecting to find a cheap sata drive inside.
Don't know what you are referring to, the 6 of these that I have picked up are all Hitachi 3.5 SATA II Deskstar P7K500 HDP725032GLA360 (0A35411) 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s drives and there is no built in cable or leatherette flap on them.
Looks like these come in all flavors. The thead at SD shows a post from another forum with photos of a Western Digital 320GB SATA drive. There are also IDE versions of the drive. I received the same drive as you mentioned that you received however.
