Got this yesterday for $190 when it was posted in another thread. The price was $299 this morning.

nice deal

 

[Schmide]

I'll bite

 

[Dangerer]

Would it matter that this is not SATA considering I'm going to be throwing an external enclosure on it and using it as a laptop storage?

Same price 2 weeks ago.

Faugh! $179.99 shipped? I bought one. I still have a 200GB, 300GB SATA, two 400GB and a 500GB sitting here still shrinkwrapped. WTF am I doing? I need to stop coming here!

(Well, my plan is to sell off all my "small" HDDs, those 250GB and smaller... already sold an 80GB and a 120GB in the past two weeks...)

I'm as bad as he is... currently running 2x250 and 1 160 patas but the following just sitting around.. 2 200 satas*, 1 300 pata*, 2 400 patas*, 1 160 pata, 1 80 pata, 2 most likely dead 160 patas, 1 100 pata sitting in a case, and 2 unknown sized patas in another case ...* = nib unopened .. found another dead 120 pata and I would've had 6 400 patas if outpost had not of canceled 3 out of 4 of my orders I'd placed over the past week :disgust:

will a 2.5" enclosure be enough for this HD or do i need to purchase a 3.5?

--nevermind... any good recommendations for a SATA 3.5 enclosure? not for this drive

 

[Kaido]

Is this a 7200.9 drive? Outpost says it's a ST3500641A-RK; Seagate only has a page for the ST3500641A. Link here:

Nice, thanks for the tip!

Buying for needs more than 60 days out isn't that wise of an idea with computers.

Normally that's true, but with Fry's/Outpost specials, only time they're beated is by themselves at a later date. I got a 300GB EIDE Seagate last year that I sat on for a while before using it. Guess what? To this date I have yet to see a lower price ($70AR). Those "spare" 400GB drives are, what, $100 less than any other place at this time? I think it'll be a while before the normal pricing of 400GB drives drops below $130 shipped, let alone the $100 deal that some people have gotten.

Otherwise, yeah, I know what you mean about buying stuff before it's needed.

It shows up as 209.99 with shipping costs when I add it to my cart.
