It's available on newegg right now, but it is still pricey.

7200.11? they have been failing at an alarming rate. they brick themselves due to bad firmware. hopefully you got a newly manufactured one if so.

And on just 4 platters, too! Many of the previous 1TB and 1.5TB drives are 5 platter, especially the early models of those capacities, adding just that much more risk to them. I prefer fewer platters, but 4 will do when you've got this kind of capacity! Heck, if the speed is honestly comparable with a 7200 as well (always a question with the Caviar Greens), then woah.

I guess I'll summarize my feelings with:
