    I'd rather get it here:

    His name was MackemX

    What kind of a man are you? The guy is unconscious in a coma and you don't have the guts to kiss his girlfriend?

    Not sure if it's a misprint (could possibly be), but while only $1 cheaper, the first link shows a 5yr MFR warranty vs 3 at Newegg. If they're both actually the same warranty, I'd definitely go with Newegg.

    I'd pay $10 for 2 more years of warranty coverage.

    I wonder if that new fangled NCQ can compensate for the relatively high average seek time...
    Your base? Well, they belong to me now...

    WD 300GB is 8.9ms, Seagate is 8ms. But this drive also has 16MB cache. That should make up for it for during a day's work. They're large capacity drives with four platters most likely, 'high' seek times are the norm at present.
