I just bought a Western Digital 160Gb 3.5" IDE Hard drive.

Good buy? opinions? Anything to say?
I got it for $54 after taxes.

What's the RPM?

(And while looking for computer parts a week ago, I remember the drives here were pretty cheap: [link])

Im pretty sure its 7200Rpm
Can't find that info, I have it in a static free bag and that's about it.

Not a bad buy, good brand, but TigerDirect has 250 Gb for like 55-60 =-s
still though, if that much space is needed, then good buy =-D

There was a 250GB there where I bought this. And yes that much space is needed, I'm still going to have my have my 80GB original one up and running. So I'll have about 240GB

EDIT: Yes it is 7200PRM.
