While I tend to doubt any non-OEM people can get this drive at
this price (and remember--it says that price is for an "Evaluation" unit.
Typically that means they get a super discount for that drive only. Any
subsequent drive purchases are at normal price--whatever that is), I will
wait with baited breath to see if any 750-people can buy this drive. I
might even gladly sacrifice my 340 MB drive and put one of these in the
drive case, if I can get it for that cheap!
Keep yer eyes peeled...
