http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/message?board.id=ata_dri…Seems to be a number of 7200 rpm drives for Seagate and their subsidiary (?) Maxtor. I was going to buy one of their drives before finding these and other articles.
Great price, but I'd be too scared to buy the Seagate 1.5TB drives now with all the bricking issues going around. Safer bet is WD or Samsung for the time being IMO.
EDIT:
Actually its a GOOD price not a great price and shopping squares horrendous postage costs will kill any price advantage in it.

Megaware for $219 and you'll be in front after postage.
ITEstate for $225 and probably still in front after postage.
Even better if you can pick up.
