Good work putting them all on one thread.

I bought the 200GB Seagate from Frys last time they had this deal. I got the rebate quickly (about 3-4 weeks). The drive is fast and quiet, but it runs hot -- about 15F hotter than my 160GB Maxtor even when they're not active. It's a terrific deal.

Thanks for assembling this list.

I went down to the Seattle area Fry's and pricematched the CompUSA deal for that Maxtor. 16MB cache PATA/133 250GB drive. After WA sales tax, this even beats the RTPE deals listed by some change. The only downside is that has 1 year warranty instead of 3.
