    From 3:00-5:59 p.m. PDT today, Newegg will offer the Hitachi 7K750 750 GB 7200 RPM hard drive for $69.99 shipped. Regular price is $89.99.

    Again, that price is good today only from 3:00-5:59 p.m. Pacific Time - do the math for your specific time zone.

    Excellent price - thanks for posting. I'm going to have to fight real hard not to buy it. Currently I'm running a 500GB WD Black so it's hard to justify.

    But since when did I have to justify tech purchases? ;)

    I just bought that same drive last week. I'm in no danger of running short on space any time soon, it's fast, and very quiet, so I'm probably not going to jump on this. I've also read that Hitachi's support isn't all that great. I stick with WD because their warranty and RMA process are top notch.
