wouldnt the maxtor be a better deal at $100 shipped? as it also is a 80 gig 7200rpm but the access time is less than 8ms as opposed to the 8.9ms.

The WD has 8MB of on-board cache, the Maxtor has the standard 2MB. The Special Edition benches like a SCSI drive in certain respects.

but dosent the quicker acess time let the maxtor dish out data faster?

Warm deal.

I bought this drive 2 weeks ago from newegg for $113 shipped, Owell 4 bucks, this drive does good in benchmarks but I cant tell any real world difference between it and my Maxtor.

Why doesn't anyone want the 120GB SE? 80 is still to SMALL in my book. DivX...

Gotta get the dual 120GB SE in RAID 0

$105 today, a refurb yes but not too shabby

I picked up 2 of these drives last week from Dell during that extra 5% off deal for $85 a drive shipped. Still a good deal at $109 very happy with drive.
