(Newegg does have a combo for an Icy Dock unit to convert this to a normal 3½" drive size for free)

Not sure how accurate their site is, but it can be added to cart so I'm thinking maybe in-stock? Not only a decent price, these are pretty rare still. This is the OEM gen2 drive (G2C1, retail is G2R5). Picture doesn't show the rubber thingamajig - I don't know if they all come with it, but I know I read a review somewhere where someone bought an OEM drive and it didn't come with it.

Does anyone know if the Bing cashback amount is the price before coupons? Credit card cashback (I use Discover) is the amount charged (post-coupon).

Coupon is generic and good for $15 off $100+ (excluding combo deals). Coupon is one per customer and limit one coupon code per order.

I'm not seeing any Bing cashback, but it's $254.99 after the coupon.

It's tempting! I just wonder if it's worth waiting for Black Friday.. only 5 weeks.

$250 at ZZF after a $30 rebate, which might be less of a hassle for some... http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/...0790&prodlist=celebros

Thanks for the addtitional option, but it's a $5 savings for going from no hassle to mail-in.

Just go to Bing, click to view all stores and look up "Superbiiz." They are not listed as "eWiz." It should be a straight 5%.

You can't buy it at the moment.

(Amazon is still showing $355).

This is a G1 drive, which will not support TRIM.

Reseller rating is pretty awful though, buy at your own risk

Their ratings not only suck, their page lights up Avira anti-virus like a Christmas tree.

No thanks!

I was just coming back to correct my missing that, thanks.

Nice deal but not as good as $234.99 shipped from yesterday! Surprised I actually found it someplace cheaper than amazon that was a really reliable retailer. Has already been shipped yesterday too. So I know it was really in stock for sure. Didn't want to pass this deal up sense I knew this would not happen again anytime soon.

Does anyone know when Amazon will get the 80 GB G2 back in stock ? It is not as cheap but you have to think about it that is for the retail drive which is quite amazing. Who wouldn't buy a retail part if it was nearly as same price instead of the oem version. No one I know of would pass that chance of it. Plus you get a guarantee of when it is shipped.

I guess no one knows.
