That's pretty hot! According to Camelegg the price started at $270, and has never (previously) been below $150. Note that the 450GB and 600GB models are faster than the 300GB and smaller models, due to higher platter density. For those who need the space (got hundreds of Steam games?) and can't afford $800 to put it all on SSD, this may be a reasonable alternative. Yes, these are still overall faster than any 7200RPM HDD.
Tempting, but I'll hold off on a 600GB VelociRaptor deal.
