Is 98.99 a good price for the 1TB Caviar Black 32mb drive?

I just ordered one from NCIX and I'm wondering how much cheaper it can get than 98.99. From the price history on Price Canada it appears that is as cheap as it gets. Any inputs?

ncix had it for as low as 89.99 once.

I figured as much... thanks.
Does this happen often? Dropping the price to 89.99? Because if not then I'll just take the 10 dollar hit and keep my order for the sake of timeliness.

it only dropped to $89.99 once, but usually float at $94.99-$96.99 for sale price.

I just bought this HD last week from NCIX and got it for $94.99 with a price match (and free ground shipping for entire order).
Seems like it went up a few bucks since then, but still not bad for 1 TB.
This drive is good. It's really quiet and seems pretty fast to me. I was using a 74 GB Western Digital Raptor before, but sold it to the guy down the hall in my apartment. I'd say the new drive is pretty close to being just as quick.
Yeah, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it even if it's $10 more than the cheapest it's been. Still very much worth the price.
