Western Digital Caviar Green WD30EZRX 3TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard… for $159.99 + free shipping
Same deal was offered a couple weeks back. Here's the new promo code EMCNEGJ35
Not a bad deal at all. I don't NEED one, darn it, but WD is IMHO the best HD on the market. 3TB is a s@#$load of storage. Might have to bypass my needs and go for wants -- I'll eventually need the space after all.
That is what, almost 50 - 60 cents per GB? Works for me.
Picked up one of these last time they were on sale. It has been a great drive for data and some moderate video use. Can burn a 25gb blu-ray in about 20 minutes from this drive on an overclocked 2nd gen i7.
5.3 cents per gig
Does anyone know how many RPMs the drive is? It doesn't list it in the details.
@blowuptheking: Usually they are 5400 rpm if they don't list since its not a good selling point.
Most 'green' drives are <5600rpm. WD is now listing their green drive's RPM as 'Intellipower', which helps mitigate the fact that they are slower than 7200rpm drives and helps them avoid a direct rpm comparison. With as long as these green-branded drives have been out, you probably already know, but rest assured, it's slower than 7200 or they would be marketing it. I def wouldn't recommend using this as your OS drive.
