Great deal for those of you looking for storage: Amazon has a sale for the next few hours on a Hitachi 1TB 7200RPM SATAII drive for only $59.96, down from the regular $100 or more. Great for use in something like a Drobo (a 4TB Drobo for only $240!) or just in your workstation. Go get it quick!
The deal’s been going for 45 minutes already, and only 3% are claimed. So they must have a MASSIVE inventory of these things. Either way, the sale ends at 10am Pacific.
That’s actually going rate for storage. Newegg has a WD Caviar Green 2TB for $69 after $20 rebate. If you’re not into rebates, they have a Samsung Spinpoint 1TB for $54.
Storage is just silly cheap these days.
Personally, I would avoid the western digital ones. We have had 4 of them suddenly die for no reason.
