500 GB Seagate 16 mb Sata 139.99@ the egg!

[conehead433]

Any users of this drive out there who can report on the loudness others have claimed. I'm waiting to order a large drive that can be used with Dish' VIP 622 later this year when they enable USB external drive support and would prefer a quiet drive. I installed a Seagate 120GB drive in a computer for a friend and you couldn't actually hear it working.

hmm... If I get one of these, I'd be over a terabyte. I bet my e-penis would grow another 3 inches...

Dang! I ordered mine yesterday after reading this post and it was just delivered! NE rocks!

 

[thraashman]

Well I tried to get it and it got removed from my cart due to insufficient stock. So it looks like this is dead. Or at least until they get more stock assuming they do while the deal is still going on.

For those lucky enough to get one I checked mine on seagates website and it indeed is 5 year warranty.

This is normal for Paypal transactions - seems to always take an extra 24 hours to clear versus a CC payment, at least the 3 times I've done it.

Holy! Thats straight tempting right there, I'd get it if I was hurting for more HDD space.

Mine went from step 1 to 5 in just a few hours, but I did a cc transaction. Mine will be here Tuesday, gonna be nice!

 

[Beev]

Mine should be here today.

Mine still sits in step 1 for 48 hrs.
Never had any purchase issue with the Egg.
Should I call them?

You totally could call, I don't think they care though I am betting it's still a paypal delay.

Hmm...My last purchase (Dec'06) via Paypal went thru within hrs and shipped next day.

 

[Spike]

Maybe it was the weekend that slowed it down? I dunno, give them a call and see what they say

 

[dealseaker]

mine should be here Monday

 

[ctcsoft]

coupon not working

 

[Captante]

Its supposed to be good until today but not working for me either!

 

[dealseaker]

just installed mine in a cd bay, how hot do these get? my other 5 hd's have 2 80mm fans blowing on them, this is all alone up there, think it needs a fan?

 

[marulee]

I saw one 130 from ATOT.

 

[Spike]

Mine has been in for a few days and no problems yet. Also this thing is way quiet, it might be my case but I can't hear it at all in my silent P180.

They sell drive bay fans that you connect the HD to. I used one, has 3 little fans on the from and a removable screen to block out dust. You should definately get one.
