Didn't realize that is the newer Caviar Black, so yes, it is a little bit faster than the F3, but still not worth the $30 extra.

Not a bad price. Another idea is for $30 more you can get a sata 3 (6 GB/s) with a 64 mb cache. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533

Traditional hard drives cannot saturate SATA II let alone SATA III so that is irrelevant.
