Seems pretty good deal here is the spec:
Seagate 500GB ST3500418AS SATA II HDD - 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 500-GB Hard Drive
- SATA 3Gb/s interface
- Perpendicular recording technology for maximum drive capacity and reliability
- 16-MB cache buffer
- Ultra-fast performance
- Superb reliability
- Whisper-quiet operation
- Enhanced G-Force Protection against handling damage
- 78 MB/s maximum sustained data transfer rate
- Clean Sweep calibration and Directed Offline scan diagnostics
- RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances) compliant
$18 Shipping to me in Melbourne outstrips the cost from MSY @ $82 for what i presume is the same drive(Seagate SATA). Could possibly be a decent deal for those who cant get easy access to MSY though.
