100GB WD Hard Drive @ SAMS $119.98 after $100 MIR

[ThePanda]

I can't decide between the seagate and the 120gb here. I think I'll go with the seagate since that other rebate looks stricter and you pay 300 initially..

Edit: It figures that as soon as I get the money together to order the seagate it is backordered..

For anyone else who ordered online, I wanted to mention that you'll have to wait a while for it to arrive. Although the shipping options that come up during the ordering process list how long it'll take to arrive, Sam's Club has an entry in their help area that says it'll take a few weeks (this hadn't occurred to me until I saw the table with delivery dates, so I thought some fellow deal hunters might be the same)! link I just ordered yesterday, and mine will arrive between xmas and new year's. argh.

edit:
Sorry about the broken link. Here are the directions to reach the table I am referring to:
http://www.samsclub.com/ click 'Help' (top right), from the pull-down menu, pick 'Shipping' and hit 'Go'.

Well, i ordered mine on the 8th and it's already been shipped with an ETA of 12/14, so I think that shipping table in the FAQ is just there as a reference for the maximum time it may take to receive your order, not the expected time.

 

[EvilYoda]

I ordered mine yesterday, the 10th, and I still haven't received a shipment notification. This has me worried, cuz I have someone that's buying my current HD's, and the kid's going home after finals on Monday. :|

I really hope it gets here Monday, otherwise I'm in some big doo-doo.

 

[digme]

The 100 GB drive seems to be gone from the Sams Club site, even though it still shows up under the COMPUTERS/ACCESSORIES/SUPPLIES section of the REBATES tab.

Digme, searching for 743001 used to take you to that drive, b4 it disappeared from the site.
743001 is the Sams Club SKU for the drive.

I've got a 90 day guest pass that expires on 1/6/02. Does anybody know if I can actually buy something with this thing? Will they give me a hard time concerning the rebate if I'm not a Sam's Club member?
TIA

Nope, that pass only allows you to walk around the store.

 

[Keen314]

I just finished one of their customer support chats, and they said my order would ship out tomorrow. So, unless UPS, Fedex, USPS, or whoever ships it messes up bigtime, I'll get it next week (hopefully before I move out of the dorm for winter break ).

 

[LukFilm]

Just got (last) one today at my local Sam's Club. SWEET!!!

 

[digme]

LUK, you one LUKy son of a gun!!! i searched three stores.... i.e, half a day i commited to finding this drive, and none of the stores have it(133Miles covered in finding three stores:|:|:|)...somebody want to sell theirs?

Digme - Try doing the "click 'n pull" at the top of the page. It'll save you a ton of driving time. You can research their stock - supposedly in real time, at individual store locations.

 

[DUKAT1]

Mine was ordered 11/30 & in my rig on 12/6! Maybe shipping is longer now 'cause closer to Xmas?

Could so of you that have picked this drive up from Sams post the exact model # that is on the HD?? I read elsewhere that some of the drives being sold at Sams are actually the SE version. I can't remember off-hand where I read this but apparently upon calling WD tech support and running the model number it was confirmed that the drive this person bought was the SE 8mb cache version, and the rep was aware that some of the drives in the regular boxs are SEs. Once I find the site again I will post the model # so everyone can check for sure.

[DUKAT1]

My drive is : WD1000BB-32CCBO manufactured 9.29.01 which according to WD website is a 7200 rpm standard edition 100gb drive. The SE drive would be: WD1000BB-SE or WD1000JB

The model # for the 8mb cache was...

WD1000BB-75CHEO

anyone have one if these?

[ah6tyfour]

I have the WD1000BBRTL... not 8MB is it? =)

 

[ucla88]

just wandering through sam's last night, looking for a christmas tree stand, and, lo and behold, in the meager components aisle

wd1000bb for 219-100mir.

hmmm, sounds like a good deal-even though i don't really need a new one right now. too hard to pass up. i figure they're sold out, but to my suprise, they're in stock.

check the AT forum and already there's a huge thread


oh, well, with that $24 stick of ddr ram i picked up at BB now i guess i have to build another computer.


btw, they still had these in stock at the roseville, CA Sam's as of last night.

 

[jasonroehm]

The one I got is a WD1000BBRTL. It says just to the right of that on the box, "Buffer Size 2MB," so I'm pretty sure it's not an SE. Anyway, a friend of mine told me he saw these still in stock in Terre Haute, IN last night, so if you're in the area, go get one.

 

[StayPuff]

I just got mine -- living in a smallish city has its advantages! My P/N is WD1000BB-00CAA0

 

[Tap]

It doesn't matter what the box says, it is what is on the drive itself. If you have that model # or a simliar model # with the 75, call and see for yourself.

[psycaz]

Just got mine. Thanks DEFIANT1, that tip about the locator helped me find where to buy, none local, had to drive about 115 miles round trip, got the last one. I haevn'y opened the box yet to check the model #, hope it is a SE model, want it for video capture.

 

[LukFilm]

<< had to drive about 115 miles round trip >>


That would suck if someone got the last one while you were on the way there

 

[DavemanUT]

My poppa just picked one up for the computer I'm building for him! It was at the Harding Pl store in Nashville, TN. He said there were still 4 more! Go there!

[LukFilm]

I just want to confirm - all I have to do is to send it the REBATE RECEIPT and the REBATE FORM and I'm set? No need for UPC? That's kind of strange, but I'd rather check than lose out on $100. Thanks.
