Exactly, it depends on where you buy your OEM parts from, that will determine the quality and leingth of support you will recieve. My worst experiences have been with OEM drives in general. Retail Boxes are much easier to RMA should the need arise.
I say screw the rebates. Waiting for rebates is like waiting to die. Id rather get a better performing product (seagate 160gig sata150) for 119 bucks oem from newegg. faster performance, 5 year manufacturer warrantee, what else can I say.
granted that when you buy OEm you know what your doing i.e hard drive fails .. u have a utility to check if its failing.. im sure new egg would still take the drive back and replace it.
