The largest rebates, of $120, cover the Mercury Rack Pro 1.5TB, 2TB, 3TB, and 4TB products.

The Mercury Elite-AL Pro Single Drive and NewerTech miniStack 750GB or 1TB products are eligible for $30 rebate, while a purchase of the Mercury On-The-Go Bus Powered storage will receive $20 back.
OWC has also partnered with Hitachi to include bare drives in the rebate program. Internal drives including 200GB and 320GB 7200RPM 16MB cache SATA notebook drives for the MacBook, MacBook Pro, or Mac mini are all eligible for $20 back. The 750GB or 1TB 7200RPM 3.5 inch "Server Grade" 32MB cache desktop/tower drives for the Mac Pro and G5 models will receive a $30 rebate.

beware
Be skeptical about these rebates. If they're direct from OWC it's probably okay, but last year I bought a hard drive from them that had a rebate from Hitachi, which I never could get, due to a slightly mismarked package/product number. Hitachi wouldn't even talk to me. OWC tried (they said) to get the rebate for me, but nothing ever came of it.
Note: The OWC hard drives are great, just beware of rebates from Hitachi (many OWC drives use Hitachi mechanisms).
