Pick your etailer to avoid State-based sales tax...
Amazon, straight up
B&H, straight up
Egg, with promocode 1210GREENMNDY24
TD, after $20 MIR

Now $199 @ Amazon, the others look right. B&H is the best deal to avoid tax (unless you are in NY) and shipping.

No no...not again! (wallet jumps out of pocket, runs down cubicle aisle...)

Back at $160 at Amazon. Trying not to pull the trigger.

I don't either, but I had a 10% off coupon from Amazon so I now have one on the way.

What's the difference b/w this one and the mSATA?
Thanks.

mSATA version can only work in an mSATA slot, which some notebooks and a handful of motherboards have. Performance is the same as a regular SATA port and is limited to whether the mSATA slot is wired into a SATA 3Gbps (AKA SATA II) or SATA 6Gbps port in the chipset.

Basically, if you are using it in a typical desktop computer, you probably can't use mSATA.

Back up to $199 @ Amazon, $189 @ B&H, $199 @ the Egg. Looks to be dead.

 

[sunilx]

mSATA is very useful for really tiny boxes based on thin-mITX boards like the Intel DH61AG but also eliminates a 2.5" box in other applications.

 

[BD231]

Wow, dead in a day. Crazy.

 

[holden j caufield]

on a laptop would using the msata save you some battery life?

Had one for 2 years and got it when it was $360. Awesome hard drive.
