HOT! DellHome - Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10000RPM S-ATA Hard Drive with 16MB Buffer, Dell Branded, for $180 with FREE Shipping!

Still available for some reason! This hard drive costs
about $250-$350 everywhere else (and Dell sells it for $459 for use in their
Precision workstations). Dell OEM'd this Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10000 RPM
S-ATA hard drive with 16MB buffer, and is selling it for just $180, with FREE
shipping. I don't know how long this will last, but I'm guessing not long at
all. DELL OEM

How did they add the 10GB to the Raptor? If you look at the Dell page is says 160GB...

Must be wrong as there is no such drive out there but makes me suspicious.

The drive is actually 160GB when it comes from Western Digital, however, they disable the inner 10GB on the platter so the access times are higher and it can benchmark higher. All Dell has done is enable the whole platter to be used, thus 10 more gigabytes, but not as fast as a 150GB Raptor (though I doubt you could notice the speed difference).
