This hard drive is on sale at Fry's and I am thinking about picking it up this sunday. What do you guys think? Any one have any good/bad thinks with WD?

Western Digital 100gb, ultra dma 100, 8.9ms seek time, 2mb buffer, 7200rpm, 3 yr warranty on sale for $199.00

I would be using this drive for storage of dvd's only.

Looks good m8, price is decent, but doesn't look like any stellar deal to me. allstarshop is an auesome and reputable vendor.... they list it for 212. A quick search on pricewatch shows for 192.
I would say go for it.... but a wd drive just failed in a pc I built for a friend.... it only lasted 2 months. I don't know these days... hard drive's suck. My next pick is the maxtor D740 series just like fluke went with.
