Zipzoomfly has the 2tb for $110 and a 1tb for $67. So the prices listed here are nothing special.

the first one is a crappy Hitachi and the second one is the notoriosly horrible Seagate and it isn't even 2TB.  Apple's to oranges.

I don't think these are 7200 rpm are they?

they are 7200RPM.  However, when speed not needed, the drives apparantly spin down to 5400RPM

I've had the 1TB model for about a year now and it's a great drive. Very quiet.

No, these are 3.5 inch drives, you want a 2.5. The largest available are 500 GB.
