Unfortunately, the Seagate Pro 600 has been discontinued, http://comms.seagate.com/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P3000000JHLCCEA5. The replacement is the 1200 series which are more 2x the price but have a SAS 12gbps interface. You can still find the 600's out there at around $300/drive. Still a very good price based on specs and backed by the reviews. The Kingston E100's have a DWPD rating of 11 at the 100/200GB capacity, and similar specs to the S3700's (400GB), but more expensive per GB & PBW than the intel S3700, so I'd probably stick with the S3700s.
