Gone now. Either sold out and removed from site, or it was a price mistake and it was caught.

Well, the toms hardware review recommended against the drive due to performance - I guess it wasn't a real popular drive and was priced accordingly?
from the Tom's Hardware conclusion "..the potential power savings of an EcoGreen F drive on a mainstream desktop PC aren’t worth the consideration.." where they were comparing it to basically the same drive in a 7200rpm config.
In any case, that would indeed make it a good candidate for a NAS setup where the performance may not be as big an issue. Great that you were able to snag a couple!

That was fast! It worked when I first read the post and by the time I read the referenced articles, it was down!

Was it this one that is $95 bucks now?

I doubt it is since that is a 7200 rpm drive while the original post was regarding the eco green line which is a 5400 rpm drive.
