Ecogreen? So does that mean this is a 5400rpm or 7200rpm drive?

In for 2, with 3% FW cashback. It's not too bad. I was planning on waiting but nothing has been really diving in prices with HDs. These will work great in my Synology NAS, should last me a few years.

Because there are only 2 hard drive manufacturers left and they're price fixing to keep HD prices artificially high. This drive should cost $65, max - the same as it did before the flood.

Samsung, a company with $200+ billion annual revenue; is owned by Seagate?
I think you need to check your facts.
Just because they acquired their HD business doesn't mean they "own" Samsung.

Do not be fooled. Samsung drives are no longer Samsung drives people. Everything is made by seagate. The only thing that is Samsung is the name. This is very sad, but it is very true. Seagate blows!

Yet their prices were just as high as everyone elses.
Don't give me supply/demand either, it was price fixing. If they kept prices fairly normal, they wouldve had practically 100% market share

Got two from the last frontpage deal. One died in two weeks, had to RMA. Another one is clicking all the time. Definitely not the same drive although look almost the same outside.
Don't buy this...
