Wouldn't of payed that, but got the shaft from Staples so out of anger, I pay more, yeah i'll show em! Wonder if I can return the drive to compusa, the wrapper on the outer box has been opened,but the drive is still in the sealed esd bag. They have a 15% fee for returning opened non defective merchandise, hmm maybe return the the drive that I ordered from outpost to Compusa think they'll notice, he he, oh well this is a good deal, even if I have to return the other drive at a cost it will still be cheaper than the one I bought at compusa

Scored one too. I'd get another but don't want to be greedy and I really don't need another one.
I'd say jump on this ASAP and be sure to save/print those webpages that say "$49.99 after rebates"

I want to pick up an extra one of these for my brother.
The rebate form states one per household, which should be fine as there are two households mailing one each.
My question is will a copy of the one reciept for both drives work with the two rebates mailed?
Or should I just place two orders and eat the extra shipping cost?
Thanks for any help

I placed my order. I think it's a little late, but would the $10 off $100 for new customers work with these rebates?
I did a head to head comparison and it looks like the WD SE performed most poorly. I would say the IBM and Maxtor are a very close comparison and it depends what you're going to use the hard drive for. It seems that the IBM is better for gaming, and the Maxtor is better for business applications. I think I'm going to stick with mineOriginally posted by: tuan121
like the staples deal. but from the data on storagereview.com it appears the maxtor is slower then the new ibm 180gxp and WD SE. Im returning mine.
