Deal dead. WD at dell. Changed title cause some people are intimidated by me saying it's DOTY.

Works Perfect for Me...

$169 - 20% - $10 Coupon Code = $125.20 Shipped!

 

[coolkev16]

all i must say is Pillage, you are getting a 10. I just ordered one

 

[Beaner]

Hmmm...

Trying to get in on this deal, but my total changes when I go to checkout.
Before I hit checkout, I'm at $132.71 (tax for me ), but when I get to the payment screen it says my total is $143.31 ($10.60 higher).

Any ideas?

 

[aldamon]

Damnit, I had a spasm and hit the submit button....oh well lol.

 

[elastic]

just got confirmation on my second order, shipping on or before april 29, 2002.....man oh man if this goes through

 

[gregor7777]

OMG, if this shows this will be amazing.

Not selling off my 50 gigs of Maxtor 7200rpm goodness yet though.

 

[BooneRebel]

Pillage2001 gets a '10'!

What's your shipping option? You have to click on the "Estimate shipping" graphic and specifiy "lowest cost ground" in order for there to be a $0 shipping charge.

Is that it?

Question: Does Dell keep track of how many times you use a coupon? In other words, If I want to buy two, can I make two separate orders using the same account and use the $10 off coupon twice? Or do I just need to make another account?

Just got my order in. Time to go sell my 60 GB drive.

 

[aldamon]

You guys might want to hold off on selling your current goods until you have a box on your doorstep. Dell doesn't have the best reputation for being "timely."

 

[Beaner]

Dajo,

Thx, but I had already done that. Just kept trying and it finally corrected itself...who knows.

Came out to $132 for me. Why tax here in FL? Isn't Dell based in TX? To the best of my knowledge, they have no operations in FL.

beside the size and 8mb cache, should i get this egay my maxtor d740x-6L (80gb ata 133, 7.2k rpm)

performance wise, which one would be better?? i have the hardware to use either one (i.e. ata 133 controller)

 

[elastic]

check Storage Review, they have a nice detailed review they did of this drive back in January and it compares it to the 740DX as well.

 

[Fatboy420]

I couldn't hold out any longer! My CC is melting...

I've been waiting for this drive for a while now... Deciding whether or not to get 2 for nice RAID config...

 

[xDrAGoNx]

i think Dell has something up their sleeve! Any make sure to read all the disclaimers? I think we just sold our soul or something...

Storage Review Highlights:

"At an impressive 413 IOs/sec, the WD1200JB is the first ATA drive to break the 400 mark, easily the fastest ATA drive we've yet put to the test. It improves upon the standard WD1200BB (no slouch in its own right) by an amazing 22% as well as besting the previous IDE champ, Western Digital's own WD1000BB-SE, by 4%. To put this into perspective, consider this: the JB is a staggering 36% faster than the next closest non-WD competitor (IBM's Deskstar 60GXP)! Such margins are incredible in the hard drive world.

The JB performs equally well in the High-End DriveMark 2002. Here it again the JB improves upon the already stellar WD1000BB-SE and comes within striking distance (less than 2%) of Maxtor's leading 10,000 RPM SCSI drive, the Atlas 10k III."

This drive smokes the maxtor. Egay away. You should be able to get 2/3 of the cost of this beast.

 

[glc650]

Has anyone actually received one of these and verified that its a W1200JB, regardless of the name on the drive?

 

[Gujski]

Got in on this--Thanks!!!

but- what is scaring me is that on the final page whereit says to submit order, there was no total. It just had:

price: 169
discount: -43
shipping: --
total --

I went ahead and ordered it anyway, I just hope they don't charge my CC more than the 125.

 

[GLudlow]

I bought two.. Now I gotta find a hardware IDE RAID card, and RAID 0 these babies... Fast, reliable, and HUGE! No more disk failures for me!

 

[DSchell]

Dell just raised the price to $189.

 

[gotincon]

The drive just changed to 189$ from 169 in front of my eyes.

 

[NuKe9]

Look out!!! They just raised the price to $189!!!! Sneeky Bastages! Hope our orders make it through!! D@mn Dell!! Still waiting for my S200... grrrr

Tom

 

[FatDragonn]

[Gujski]

Dell just raised the price to $189

Damn! I just made it in before the price hike! I hope...
