Newegg seems to have nine 7.2k Deskstar models in stock, cond new, from
500GB to 3TB:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007603+50001984+600003340&QksAutoSuggestion=&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Configurator=&IsNodeId=1&Subcategory=14&description=&hisInDesc=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&AdvancedSearch=1&srchInDesc=

As of the date/time of this email, here's a spattering of the 9
available and their order qty limitations:

H3IK30003272SW (0S03208) 3TB qty:	20
HUA723020ALA640 (0F12455) 2TB qty:	5
H3IK20003272SP (0S02861) 2TB qty:	20
HDS723020BLA642 (0f12115) 2TB qty:	20
HDS721010DLE630 (0F13180) 1TB qty:	100
7K1000.C 0F10383 1TB qty:		20

The HDS721010DLE630 1TB model looks pretty attractive if one needs
spindle count IOPS more than total capacity.  And needs more than 20 drives.
