Server Part Deals via Newegg[newegg.com] has Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD1000CHTZ 1TB 10000 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Enterprise Hard Drive Bare Drive on sale for $48.99
This is one of those cases where I really wonder who, as a consumer, would still buy this. The only advantage mechanical drives have now is continuous writes. But then you wouldn't need a performance drive like a velociraptor. A simple 5400rpm green drive would be best and much bigger capacity for same price.
So I was thinking about building a small unraid server, since you don't want to use ssd in the main array this might work for a parity drive since you write to it all the time. what do you think?

The noise, the horrible speed, and the wasted electricity....

Those were the days.
Still kinda neat, if you were into retro PCs and the noise these produce.
