These are the 8mb cache drives, and they rock. A great price (after $50 mail in rebate) on a kick ass crive. Hope this is helpful.

Just to let you guys know, that's well below cost.

Very good buy, I would say...I myself just got a 60gb WestDigital drive (8mb cache) for $59. That's about a $1 a Gb... . This was after a $45 rebate at BestBuy.

They had to do something after Hitachi/IBM lowered their price on their new 180GXP 120GB series drives 8MB cache to 121.00 a week ago. no need for rebate. Great time to upgrade.
