Buy.com is selling the Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750.0 GB External HDD for $126.99 with free shipping. It has USB 2.0, eSata, and Firewire connectors and comes with a 5 year warranty.
Model Number ST307504FPA1E3-RK.
Since it is the "Deal of the Week" I am assuming that it expires Saturday, 8/23.
Edit: Also I don't know why the category is in Internal HDDs, it should be in external HDDs, but I don't know how to fix that.

Great deal for triple interface. Just one FYI though for potential buyers: The interfaces come as removable modules. One is USB2/eSATA, the other FW400. So if you need FW800 and USB or eSATA ports handy all the time this is not the drive for you as you can only connect on module at a time.

what are you talking about, modules? you can see the ports that plug into the device in the picture, although i can only see two of them
GREAT DEAL OP!!!

That's actually what Chupa was saying. In the picture, you can only see the USB/eSATA ports. If you want to use firewire, you have to remove the USB/eSATA module and connect the FW one (thus effectively removing the USB/eSATA port).
I believe it's the middle piece in this picture.

That is what I'm talking about. The module shown is the USB/eSATA. If you want to use Firewire then you have to get out the screw driver and the USB/eSATA plugs slide out. You then fit the Firewire module in. This is different from most external triple interface cases which have all three interfaces on the box and no need to switch them out.

cool, but in the end, it doesn't matter for the vast majority of people. most others drives don't have 5 year warranties, either.
rumors are that eSata is faster than usb & firewire 400. anyone know anything about it?
.
Shows up as $134.99 when I click the link?
$134.99 for me too.
Anyone know if you could swap out the drive for a larger drive very easily? I have a couple 1TB drives on the way. I'd like to use the 750 as an internal drive and use the 1TB for backup.
Yes, eSata runs the same speed as an internal Sata drive, so it's substantially fast than firewire and WAAAAAAAY faster than usb 2.0!
getting $134.99 as well.
-any way, will this work for streaming movies to an Xbox 360? I read somewhere that certain models aren't compatible, or something to that effect.
Can anyone confirm if the HDD is sata interface? I assume it's the 16mb cache unit (7200.10 series drives)?

The coupon does not work for me 
What is chip for the SATA/eSATA-USB-firewire bridge?
Edit: If you want a very nice enclosure with the triple interface properly implemented, I suggest the Vantec 360-UFS. Very well built, all aluminum, Oxford 934 as bridge. With newer hard drives and a TI or Agere firewire host, it can sustain 42 MB/sec read over firewire. eSATA will do the max of the hard drive (~65-70-80 MB/sec) USB is mediocre (~25 MB/sec), but barring compatibility, who in his/her right mind will pair a newer hard drive with a USB interface 
?
Manufacturer data here for 360-UFS. Available at many of our favorite e-tailers (the egg, ZZf, ewiz, Mwave, Directron, etc)

in for one, thanks. good price, 5 year warranty, the "Pro" version has an aluminum housing which is thinner, should hopefully give better heat dissapation...
Don't get this for the eSata. It runs at the same speed as USB. Also, be warned that the bottom of the drive gets VERY HOT!!! Even when just sitting idle. Check out Google, Newegg, Amazon reviewss.
Also, Seagate sells these direct, free s/h, no tax for $120 on sale.
