It can be bought for $179. I picked it up on sale for $130. Probably great drives, but should be sold for $80 or so. Just my opinion of course.
    your missing the target, its not for speed its for low power consumption, and seek time while maintaining performance in long operations when compared to a laptop drive.

    think of all of the low end desktops or laptops or netbook/top this would max it out speed wise and its cheaper

    The point I was attempting to convey is I wouldn't buy two drives for a RAID 0 array. There's better, faster and cheaper options for the same capacity to price ratio. However as you stated, they would be perfect in netbooks and perhaps in some older laptops.
    As quoted by LowRun......"So, we are one week past AMD's worst case scenario for BD's availability but they don't feel like communicating about the delay, I suppose AMD must be removed from the reliable sources list for AMD's products launch dates"
