^^The link dosent specify the model no tho, i just called him up and check and he confirmed that its 7200.12 . Whats the model no of the drives Torch? Are there many versions of the 1 TB 7200.12 . I think theres only one model with 32 MB cache right?

7200.12 is the generation of the drive technology. You get 7200.12 drives in various capacities. ST31000528AS is the only 1TB 7200.12 drive. Even the older 7200.11 drives had 32MB cache.

don't get trapped.
tell him to revise his listing with model number and 7200.12 series.
buy only then.

I agree... Unless the seller confirms this on the listing itself & through PM, he can send any model of 1TB Seagate he likes & you cannot raise a dispute with eBay...

There is another seller who is selling 7200.12 HDD with model no. clearly mentioned but when I asked him to confirm he told me its actually 7200.11 1TB...

With eBay always keep your safe side within their rules...

Is it really necessary to buy HDDs on eBay? I'm sure you can get them locally...

Your last bet would be to get it from TheITWares, he specifically states they are 7200.12 528AS drives.

That is where I got it from... + FREE Transcend 160GB...

Actually I asked him to put it up there so that I can make use of the Monsoon offer...
