i keep thinking about buying three... i'm guessing i'd have to do 3 diff orders to get the $5... not sure if newegg would be happy about it.

or... i just may not buy it lol.

Ok hard drives but I ended up returning 2 of mine because of mechanical issues. The 3rd one works but I wouldn't buy another one again. I swear they had a huge production run of some of theses that were faulty. It blew my mind that 2 of the 3 I bought were bad LOL. By the way they made chirping noises no joke so if you get some and they do that, they are BAD.

I have 10 or 11 of them, and they all work perfectly.

I'm REALLY waiting for the "Updated" version to be released that sustains over 100MB/s . I'm upgrading my 4x 320 RAID-5 to a 4x 500 RAID-5. But WHEN will the revised models ship??????????

I did that a while ago, and it worked fine. Go for it! Or you could be nice and give them a call. They'll spend more shipping three individually for free than one big package for free, and you could explain to the customer service rep that you don't want them to spend extra money. *shrug*

There is a thread around here with the juicy deets. 50% increase in STR by way of higher density platters...

Found it!:

I used to be all about WD, but Seagate makes a dam good product. They aren't as good in raid, but for storage drives they are great.
