Oh man! I can't believe I missed out on this. Do you know how often they get shipments of these? I guess I should email them. This seems like an awesome deal. The 20GB 5400rpm HDD is the same price on pricewatch, but I think that one has an 8mb buffer instead of the 2mb. I'd be willing to go with a smaller buffer for the extra 12gigs though.

as much as i would love a 7200 unit i dont think it will happen soon as my 5400rpm drive in my laptop (an ibm) makes some good heat especially when doing P2P as it just runs solid. As a note i must say that it is a pretty good drive. but i have known 2 other people who have had their ibm laptop HD fail! one was partial and got worse the other was total and all data was gone! (both laptops were sony so maybe that had something to do with it!
