Why would someone buy those drives at that price? Someone could buy this OEM drive on NewEgg and get 25% more volume (750 GB vs. 600 GB) for 66% of the price ($99 w/ free S/H vs. $150 "CASH ONLY") in a single drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152100 SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 750GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM * 750GB * 7200 RPM 32MB Cache * SATA 3.0Gb/s And it's *all* 3.0Gb/s insted of half 1.5Gb/s with 32MB cache instead of 16MB cache. Your drives are used and this drive is new. I guess that's now the cheapest price per GB I've ever seen. Anyway, that's not much of a bargain you've got there! Mike
