You can get basically the same deal through Newegg. I just purchased one for $205.50 last week and the manufacturers rebate ($40) is still applicable through the end of December if I remember correctly. So it works out about the same price-wise. However if someone found a vendor selling the drives for less they could get a real steal as the manufacturers rebate only stipulates that you must have a receipt and that it have been purchased form a "retail" vendor.
Anyway you wish to look at it, now's a GREAT time to buy one of these. Storage in
CF format has never been this cheap and if the pro's are correct prices should rise again on these after the first of the year.
G'luck All!
