I am wondering how low hard drive prices will go...

The actual price is $269, with a $100 WD rebate and a bonus $20 rebate. It also comes with a 3-year warranty. The rebate ends next week.

Has anyone used these drives in HTPCs? Are they quiet?

Beware of Fry's rebates. If they're from WD directly, you're probably OK.

GimmeMP3,

Just checked the rebates. They are from WD directly.

The same hard drive sells for $20 more on Outpost (interesting as the store price is lower than the Internet price).

They had this same deal in Feb and I never got my rebate... $120 is no small thing to lose. I won't by another WD drive.

I hope you're right... rebate for said 8 weeks, which is past. The website has no knowledge of the rebate.

I too bought one of these from Fry's in Feb. I called the WD rebate center who said that mine was in the "final stages" of processing. The lady said I should get my rebate in another couple of weeks. Hope you have the same or better luck.
