both are extremely overpriced. This Hitachi is nearly half the price and nearly as fast.

That's a pretty sweet deal. Although, at the current price of high speed 1TB drives, it might be just as good to get two solid 1TB drives on sale for nearly the same price. Obviously would take up an additional slot and more power, but an option none the less. Were I shopping now, I might have actually jumped on that Hitachi though....

I TOTALLY AGREED.. its more economical and logical to buy 2 1TB drive :) I'm actually eyeing on the WD 1-TB Black edition because it still reign; its still around $100 though.
