I hate posts like that. "When on sale". Yes, perhaps a better deal existed in the past or will exist at some time in the future, but unless you're going to link to it then don't bother wasting peoples time. This is a good deal for the CURRENT time being.

This is a good deal, and I too hate when people chime in to mention some past price that might not ever be available again.

Apr 19th, 2009 12:45 PM #8How is this WD HDD? Speed and performance any good? I am afraid of the Seagate still ain't any good. Or was that only its 1 TBs that have problems? Originally Posted by Riflem@n

It looks like the 32MB cache version costs $5 more (regular price). They're probably trying to clear out the 16s
I only have a vague idea what cache means... and NO idea if it makes any difference whatsoever in the speed.
Any computer people care to explain in a bit more detail it's benefits? Reply With Quote
