I looked at the ad and I saw it's SKU #684464. Good find. I know where I am heading after work.Originally posted by: kimdani1
OEM version of the Seagate 400 at Microcenter for $55 out the door, no rebates. Comes with one year warranty according to MC. Dunno if the extra years of warranty are worth the extra money for me, at least.

I looked up that model number (ST3400632A) and found a thread at StorageReview.com from 2005 which says that drive is a 7200.8 model. In other words it's two generations back now. No wonder it's cheaper than the other Seagates on the Frys.com site. Presumably, they're dumping the really old stock.
Too bad, as I desperately need a 7200.10 drive ASAP. Not as concerned with capacity as with generation.
With all the promotions Frys has been running on Seagate disks, I don't see how they could have any "really old stock" to sell.Originally posted by: DanT

OK, I'm happy to report that my earlier statement (about that model number being for a 7200.8 drive) is incorrect. Apparently they haven't updated the model number between revs, because I got a 7200.10 in the box.
Thanks OP!
And thanks to all who refused to accept my semi-TC.

Umm yeah, and did you notice it came in a totally different looking box? Besides, 16MB cache never came on the 7200.8
