Model: WD800BBRTL

Up to 100MB data transfer
2.2MB buffer size
Item: 461169

I don't know why you'd get the BBRTL instead of the JBRTL (2MB vs. 8MB SE). The SE is a beautiful drive. Unless you're hoping to defraud someone on the PM getting an SE matched to the 2MB.

That's right. But, I think they are just trying to come up with a print-out from Sams's club (with the 2mb cache) so they can price match it at Best Buy where BB is also selling the 2mb cache model of 80 GB hard drive. Personally, I'm with you - if you need a drive for your main system drive, ensure it's the "SE" model. If you need a drive only for backups or secondary storage purposes, the 2mb cache model should be fine. I have a 160 GB "SE" in my system which performs like a dream: fast and very, very quiet.

If I can get BB to PM Sams Club on the 2MB model, then it would be 99.97 - 50 MIR = 49.97. And that, IMO, is a damn fine deal. I would love to get the SE, but untill I can find an SE deal close to this, then this will have to do. It is also just for backup and extra space so cheap is good.

I don't know if this has been said but the SE's have a three year warranty and the 2Meg cache ones are now warranted for 1 year. I bought one when my IBM crapped out.

I've got the IBM 75GXP that everyone knows is vulnerable and mine just died and the Maxtor 60 plus that I just got last year has pooped out too. The only good thing is that they're working off of a three year warranty. I only bring this up because it seems that the 7200 rpm drives seem to have some reliability problems.

Black Friday sales at OfficeDepot sucks. I won't go to OD this Friday.

That's nice that you feel that way, but why drag up a thread that relates to the deals b/w 11/10-11/16?
