Some notes from the thread:
1) I'm not sure how long the $59.99 base price is good for, but the rebate is good for purchases up through 02/19, so there's still a few days to get in on this.

I have 3 of them and they've been flawless. I use them as backup drives, so they're not intensely used, but I've got ones that are 4+ years old and they've given me no problems.

I haven't seen 2.5TB drives...ever. If you were asking about my 2TB eSata deal, that was at least 1 year ago (maybe 2) and it was around $110-120, so this is definitely a better deal per gigabyte....

Would being a refrub. Affect the rebate? Never submitted a rebate for a refrub item before.

Most drives have no trouble pushing out 100+MB a second even if they are the slower 5400 RPM variety. I have some green drives in a USB 3.0 case that do 125+MB/sec.
That's a world of difference...
