I saw this on SD an hour ago. I snagged one up. I thought it was a good deal, even if it might be a 7200.9 drive.


Edit for spelling.

thats where i ripped it from.

in for 2 on this one - this completes my 5 set of 400GB sata raid for my shared video storage - last time i ordered 3 and they were .10 versions - that was a few months ago

thanks - i just wetn for the 320gig hds for 60..they are pretty much guaranteed to be 10s and 80 gigs for an extra 20 isn't worth it to me

its actually random between .9 and .10, i ordered some 500GB before and they were all SATA 7200.9, and i didn't care, i had one spare .9 and .10 to match for my 4 drive RAID5

Thanks OP, I was just about to buy a 500GB or 400GB SATA HD.

$80 shipped no rebates for seagate 5year warranty 400gb sata @.20c/gb is the lowest i've seen frys go on this drive... i wonder if seagate is going to stop making these soon or something. frys seems to want to move them.

Damn, smoking deal, thanks OP. Picking up another to add to the 3 I've already got.

*edit*
Wonder if they got the serial number thing worked out yet.

I've ordered two of these via previous Fry's.com deals and got .10s both time.

 

[ELopes580]

Oh thanks for the info, Queasy.

 

[ShOcKwAvE827]

thanks just bought one

All of the drives I saw at the local B&M store were .9s. I would have snatched one up if it was a .10.

 

[TheVrolok]

Got mine. Opened it up. .10

From what I gather from reading the thread over at SD is even though it says .9 on the box the actual drive will have .10 on it.
I have one on the way so we shall see.

 

[NYNY2244]

I'm out of the loop on this. What are the actual differences between .9 and .10 drives?

 

[grtmoby]

.10 is using perpendicular writing technology and should be quieter as well.

 

[SleepyB]

Actually, the .10 might be louder and run a bit hotter because of the perpendicular technology. The main physical difference is that the 7200.9 uses 3 platters vs 7200.10 using 2x 200GB platters, so it might be a bit quieter.

 

[sniggle]

Dead

 

[bond007taz]

i know this deal is dead but i got mine in today and they are the .10's! Sweet deal!

 

[ELopes580]

I too can confirm mine was the 7200.10!!!
