April 8, 201313 yr It is probably the retail packaging of this drive. If it is, this is a good deal. The bare drive was on sale last week for $114.99. $5 dollars extra for this one gets you another full year of warranty (2 years versus 3 on this retail box)

Never seem to have it when they are on sale.
April 11, 201313 yr Received mine today. It is a retail boxed DT01ACA300. Will see how it does after a few pre-clear cycles.

I got my tax refund now - before I have to spend it on something else.
April 12, 201313 yr First pre-clear cycle complete, no problems yet. Done in about 26.5 hours. Not bad compared to the last WD30EZRX I pre-cleared which took 29 hours. Full speed vs. green I guess.
