Thanks for this.
I stopped by my local OD to check this out and to probably order it. But the manager told me it was a $69 shipping fee. That kills it for me. After the upgrade and shipping I'm looking at $445 plus tax, and I think I can probably do better if I shop around. (And if not...
In my defense, the 2005 post I found mentioned that as well, saying it appeared to be some sort of interim model between the 7200.8 and the 7200.9, basically a 7200.8 with 16MB cache.
As for the box, yeah, not what I was expecting at all. I bought a 250GB 7200.10 from B&M Fry's on Memorial...
OK, I'm happy to report that my earlier statement (about that model number being for a 7200.8 drive) is incorrect. Apparently they haven't updated the model number between revs, because I got a 7200.10 in the box.
Thanks OP!
And thanks to all who refused to accept my semi-TC.
Private party (aka Face to Face) sales are ILLEGAL in California, even between family members.
And CA has a law stating that FFLs (gun dealers) MUST collect sales tax on out-of-state purchases. Effectively, the dealer is buying it and you're buying it from him. That's how they get around...
I looked up that model number (ST3400632A) and found a thread at StorageReview.com from 2005 which says that drive is a 7200.8 model. In other words it's two generations back now. No wonder it's cheaper than the other Seagates on the Frys.com site. Presumably, they're dumping the really old...
Here's something else I discovered. If you have a Providian Visa card, you can get your FICO score for free. Once you log in, it's under Credit Profile. And this is your actual FICO score, not one of the "credit scores" provided/estimated by other organizations. Providian was bought by...
There is no "2006 deadline" of any sort.
You're entitled to one from each of the 3 agencies every 12 months. In other words, it's not per calendar year. So there's no need to rush, and no need to get all 3 right now. I echo compudork's suggestion to get a report from a different agency...
I didn't have any trouble putting mine behind an old (not even wireless) SMC Barricade router. In fact, I never configured anything. Just plugged it in and after about 2-3 minutes, the phone LED went green and I had dialtone.
Have you tried putting it in front of your router?
First impressions:
Pluses:
Nice feature set. 10# redial memory, 50# phone book (apparently per handset), handset speakerphones, intercom works while other handset(s) are on calls.
Didn't interfere with my wireless. Sat on the laptop surfing while talking on the phone, with no noticeable...
Well, I finally got the deal. Just called back this morning, hit the Cancellation department option, and told the nice lady I wanted the deal. She said that any time you're within your 31-day trial period and there's a deal you like better, you can be switched to it. So I did.

Do your (or your contacts) have any idea when the $199/2yr offer will return? I've been watching the SR website for over a month now, and skipped the $99/1yr offer, hoping the 2yr offer would come back (particularly over Labor Day), but it hasn't yet. I just called and the very...
