640gb higher price than 750gb? I'm wondering why the 640gb caviar black is now $79.52 but the 750gb is $70.00?

The 640gb is supposed to be faster than the 750gb model, and from what I've seen it gets a higher percentage of 5-star reviews. Therefore it's probably a bigger selling drive, higher demand drives the price higher, it's just basic economics.

You have to pick the gb. It comes starting at 16 GB . I have 32 GB. The one in this picture is 64 GB and the price sounds about right for that. The higher the GH the higher the cost.

You can't consider Amazon pricing to always make sense, nor stay the same. Currently 1 x 4GB is $36 but 2 x 4GB is only $61. As Manuel mentioned the advantage is odds are much higher they are identical or at least the manufacturer expects them to be compatible used as a pair, while the disadvantage is that if one of the two is defective or fails then you may have to send them both in for replacement instead of being able to have the computer limp along with half the memory till you receive the replacement.

Given how the sellers on Amazon are trying to rip off everyone by charging so much more for this product I'd say just buy the 256gb model elsewhere. (Microcenter, Microsoft, Best Buy)

"One of the posters claimed that this would cost 500+ dollars. I would think that the hard drive version could actually be cheaper."I think you should learn how to read. He means that if you want a 80GB+ device in the same size you will have to use flash and flash is expensive.

I was going to buy it here on Amazon but Newegg.com had an even better deal. For $390 they threw in an extra 1TB hard drive. Pretty good deal. Can't wait to test this baby out.

I just popped into my Note 3. Recognized and working. It's actually magic, though. I don't think it really does anything. I mean, really, think about it. 64 GIGA-bytes on a sliver of something smaller than and same thickness as my thumbnail?!!! My first computer had 100 MB storage and I thought I was in fat city. Back then 1 GB cost $1000 IF you could even get it. I know a little about how such things are made and I just cannot believe modern tech. It is insane. If I sneezed during install (2 second job), I would have lost the thing in the carpet, perhaps never to be found.

The 5400rpm Best Buy's (NP700Z5B-W01UB) model HDD was a deal breaker for me. Besides Amazon's tax savings offset the price difference, so you get all 4 additional features (7200 HDD, 8G SSD, backlit keyboard, better video) for about $100 considering shipping and the current $150-$200 price difference. However the mention of the 5400rpm drive in S03 (and I'm sure S04) models made me think again. It's gotta be some difference with S01/S02 and the drive seems to be it. Another thing that one reviewer (of the S04) confirmed is that the 8G SSD is indeed proprietary tech (built into and inseparable from the HDD) and thus unavailable as a separate drive letter. I use Linux as my primary OS, so I don't care about Windows startup or IE speed. I don't think Linux would pick up the SSD at all. Which makes me go back to the stripped down Best Buy model. I'd simply swap its slow HDD with a full-size (256G+) SSD which can be had for $300 nowadays. I can live w/o the backlit keyboard and as far as the less capable video card, it's a business notebook, not a water-cooled gaming rig anyway.

The Western Digital website no longer refers to Caviar Black. The hard drives are branded Blue, Green, Black, Red and Purple. The Black is the only one with a five year warranty. It looks like they dropped the "Caviar" branding. I have purchased the Caviar Black in the past. My last purchase was for the Black. I certainly didn't notice a difference. Seems the same to me. I've had no issues with the 1TB version.

Glad to see I'm not alone. I was looking at the 120gb at the local Best Buy today. I thought I would get some assistance from a live person, who surely was well-informed on the merchandise. I asked the sales rep if the new one would fit in the old ones dock, etc. She said "Oh yes, it'll fit, sure it will. If it's the same size." Hopefully someone will come here and enlighten us!

Yep, I'd really like to order from Amazon at the NewEgg price! AMAZON, C'MON! 129.99 for the 128GB!

Disappointed that it has only 4gb memory capability, hope that its a miss print can anybody confirm that? Don't know what to do now, the price of ram always goes down and the need for it always seems to increase.

Thank you for the info, I'll take a look. By the way would you recommend a 1tb 5400rpm or a 750gb 7200rpm? Is the speed trade-off worth the space trade off? thank you

I second the Microcenter recommendation. Mine shipped today, $419 after shipping...it's the blue XP, 120GB version.

Agreed, Amazon can shove it. Just bought one off of eBay. Base price was 1889.99 shipped, but I get $151.20 cash back from Windows Live, and hopefully another $56.70 cash back from ebates.com for a total price of $1682.09. Ordered it today around lunchtime, will be delivered tomorrow between 10 and 2. (beat that, Amazon).

Has anyone asked about the 128GB with Win 7 Pro, it is not listedInstead the model # for the 64GB with Win 7 Pro (XE700T1A-A05US) matches the one for the 128 GB
