Gah 1 per household... :(

1 per household on the SATA version? :(

Limit 1 per Household ONLINE
Limit 2 per Household IN-STORE

[Blazestorm]

It's a good price :)

But it states online only too.

If people only need 1 SATA or 2 PATA drives it's a great price, I need 4-8 though :o and want to have matching drives...

[gjvrieze]

In for 1 SATA drive, I wish they were offering free shipping with this deal too, otherwise a great great deal:)

[SirKronan]

It's a good deal. Way to beat newegg again, Frys. Thanks OP.

Most people don't realize, but the 7200.10 are the older generation now. The new 7200.11s are hot with 32mb cache

Anyone know if the 32MB cache yields performance gains worthy of the extra $$ yet? I'd be interested to see.

I've been in the market for one. Was going to go with the green power WD, but this is a really nice deal for a storage drive. Might head out during lunch.

[ghostshell98]

this is the 7200.10 16mb cache version comes to 162.73 with tax
newegg has the 7200.11 32 mb cache version for 169.99 free shipping

[bburk64]

I just got a 750gb 7200rpm 32mb cache SATA Samsung from newegg for $159 w free delivery.

[gramarye]

This deal is still going on:

I just got a 750gb 7200rpm 32mb cache SATA Samsung from newegg for $159 w free delivery.

The Samsung price dropped:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152100

$150 now


How do these compare with the Seagate?

Seagate has 5-year Warranty and 16mb Cache
Samsung has 3-year Warranty, 32mb Cache

[JCDenton]

I just grabbed the Samsung, seems like a really good deal compared to what else is out there. Even that 500GB hard drive at best buy for like $87 on clearance comes out to about the same cost/GB after you factor sales tax in, and with the Samsung you're getting the 32MB cache.

I guess the real question is if the Seagate 32MB drive is worth $20 extra over the samsung.

Deal is backup today:

Just checked the SATA link and it doesn't list a limit on how many ordered - now.

Just wish I didn't have to pay down some CC's. :(

[wjogert]

Deal is back again... for $109.99 :eek:

Link in original post is still active for this deal, at new price.

[sKiDmArK]

Wow I saw the title and thought "That's definitely not hot" haha. Picked up an external one at Fry's for $110 a month ago. $109 isn't too bad though...

[Milenko]

holy hell. got one for 109. thanks guys.

[vbrtrmn]

Good deal, too bad on the 1 per household online; I'd get four for a nice RAID 5.

Yep. I hadn't noticed the dates either. I'm thinking to myself, "How is $150 for 750GB a good deal? That should be under $110??"

Now it all makes sense. :cool:

Wish I had the cash..

[InCogneato]

so i dont get it. the title says $150. was that for the 7200.11? is 109 for the 7200.10 a good deal? ready to hit the trigger on a great deal for an HDD but after shipping its pretty much the same as the newegg price with free 3 day shipping

Wow, sorry for all the confusion! :p
