Make sure before you finish checking out that you have Ground shipping selected. It tries to default you to 2-day air (not free).

Nice price, but 1 year waranty? :shrug:

If you treat an hdd right, a one-year warrantee is plenty long enough to see if it has any defects.

For instance, back when the IBM Deskstars were being called Deathstars, especially the 60GB models, I went ahead and bought one because I could get a great price on it. That was like 3 or more years ago (honestly don't remember) and the drive to this day is running perfectly. Alas it shall be replaced by this new drive :) :) :)

Honestly 90 days is enough for my taste - Especially at that price ! ^_^

Ive been waiting for a good deal on a 16mb cache drive for a while w/out rebates, so you can imagine how happy I was to see this.

Hard drives are mechanical, thus a "1 year testing period" is not sufficient. It's not like a motherboard where it rarely stops working. Hard drives have moving parts; moving parts fail. 3-5 year warranties are nice because hard drives often fail (as compared to other PC parts). Please don't come back and tell me "ooh my hard drive is fine after 4 years" because only a small fraction fail within 3 years, but work with computers enough and you will encounter those that do.
