Tigerdirect had this drive for 49.99 yesterday after MIR.
I have 2 of these as media drives, and have been flawless. I would not run an operating system off this, but for data storage, these have been great. They have pretty high read/write speeds for large files (zip, rar, videos, etc).
Handy 2-year warranty on this one. Most are just 1-year.
Sounds like these would work great in a RAID5 setup. I'm considering three of 'em for that purpose to complement an SSD for the OS/Apps.
