Best Buy's black Friday Seagate HD??

I see that Best Buy will be having a deal on a "Seagate 320 GB Internal SATA hard drive."

As it's a hell of a link, you can go to blackfriday.info and they link to it. It will be for $59.99. I can tell from the box that it's a Barracuda, and that it's the 3.0 GB SATA interface, but might anyone know what drive this really is? I mean, is it the 7200.10 with perpendicular recording, or an older (slower) drive. Thinking about getting 2 in a RAID array, as well as an external drive for backup and recovery.

The model number is - Model: ST303204N1A1AS-RK. That just doesn't match up with anything I've seen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is the older SATA 150 drive without the new Perpendicular Recording Technology. Still not a bad deal for the size.

The box may not be the actual product box. After all, the ad copy was prepared by Marketing. They probably just grabbed a hard drive box with a 320GB drive in it and figured they had done their job.

The main Seagate web site does not advertise older products, only current ones. You would have to go to the support section to view info on older drives.

One way to know for sure is to show up at Best Buy first thing the morning of the sale. I will be sleeping in myself. I learned my lesson and stopped shopping at Best Buy years ago.

Ok, now that picture is wrong, it clearly says PATA on the top of that box. I'm starting to think that this is in fact the 7200.10. Regardless of what it is, I'm sure it's much faster than my current Western Digital 120 GB PATA drive from 4 or 5 years ago.....

I bought it. It's a SATA 300 with 16mb buffer. HELL of a deal. I was looking at an online retailer (it has good prices) the same type of HDD with only 8mb buffer costs $70-80.
