Tigerdirect.com has a 1000gb hd for $79.99 after Mail in Rebate.

7200 rpm
32mb Cache

Good deal in my eyes.
terabyte.

~edit: Is there anything negative about this HD/Deal besides the Mail in rebate?

Not the best 1TB drive but still good value for someone who needs a lot of space (server) over speed.

I hate mail-in-rebates. Man I wish they'd just give instant savings... I have to admit though they do get people like me who think they will have time to mail them but just forget or don't have time.

They've been dubbed Hitachi Deathstars for a reason.

LOL I havnt heard that one in a while. Good one.

On another note there are deals for WD or seagates at 1TB or close which would be a better bet IMHO.

Thanks for posting though. The more deals the better.

I think the "Deathstar" moniker is from years ago when they had a batch of bad drives. I've been researching 1TB drives for an upcoming server build and the Hitachis seem to come in pretty strong. Other than being a little on the loud side and not the most power efficient, they have good performance rankings.

With this price, I think I might jump on it...$30 x 3 drives I need is a pretty good deal.
