YOU CAN PICK WHICHEVER ONE YOU WANT TO BUY FROM. I hadn't seen it at this price since the last Directron deal. Don't forget CashBack or live.com CashBack.

does Newegg price match? i bought this last week for 95, and I want my $5 back lol

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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