I know many folks who use NewEgg. In our case we needed something immediate, so we went local. I often use: http://www.macsales.com/ as well. Cheers! -systemsboy John,

My old Toshiba, a co-workers' supplied Powerbook, and once on an Apple XRaid. Tekserve attempted to help recover but recommended us to Drive savers for the RAID...rough estimate on the low end was $15,000 for 2TB. And that wasn't even hardware issues. Anyway, next time you're looking for a drive (hopefully not from failure;-) ) check out Newegg.com. I picked up a great 320GB drive for my MBP for $90. I’ve been through this a few times.
