Amazon often has the Seagate 2TB drive (ST2000DM001) for $89.99. That's a 7200 RPM drive and apparently doesn't suffer from this "Intellipark" nonsense. That said, it has it's own set of issues as...

Exactly. The read/write speeds of this drive is much faster than the 7200 RPM drives from a few years back. If you need 7200 for some reason, go pay more and get a "Black" drive.
