It was less than a month after they were introduced that they started discounting WD's "new" PCI SCSI controllers, so I can only conclude that WD really know their SCSI stuff.

I take it that Seagate have axed the 2G Hawk? That makes little/no sense at all; current pricing around here has them at about AUD$500, compared to the 4G Hawk and Barracuda, both at about AUD$1300.
