This week (Apr 23 - Apr 29) Circuit City is offering
a Seagate ST310011ARK (100GB, 7200 RPM,
2MB cache, PATA) HDD for $40 after rebate.

The ST310011ARK is a 7200.7 model.

Where are you getting that last bit from ?
That does show up using google on ST310011ARK


Yes, that's where I got it from, by doing a Google on ST310011ARK. The
only hits were from sites selling drives. One of those sites listed the
drive as a 7200.7.


The "RK" at the end means "Retail Kit". It is basically irrelevant to
this kind of search. That being said I wonder if this is a typo.
Perhaps it is the ST380011A? The other possibility is it's the drive
from the external ST3100203U2-RK released only to certain retail
venues. I'm not sure what nfo you think you're going to find that
would affect this purchase. What you want to dig up either isn't
going to be there or won't be a deal-breaking surprise.
