Good deal on a HD, but quality?? (WD1200JBRTL for $50 after $20 and $30 mir.)

[WangoZ]

I'm searching for a new hard drive and thought I would ask if anyone has any knowledge or experience on this one. Seems to be a strong deal but is the quality there? Price is right!

Seems like a good deal to me. I have been using Western Digital for quite sometime now with no problems.

Is it really that hard to mention the product or price in the title or even the body of your post?

ps: WD1200JBRTL for $50 after $20 and $30 mir.

Sorry, pretty new at this...I'll do better next time SIR!

You can get the Seagate 160gb hard drive at Oupost.com for only $50. These have 5
years of warranty, more reliable by far, and should be more quiet.

Western digital 120gb SATA hard drive for $50. Sata=faster and the price is equal.

outpost.com has shipping charges while circuitcity has tax. If you don't have tax at outpost.com get the 160gb from outpost.

I've purchased 4 WD 80GB of the JB line and love them. Have had absolutely no problems. My wife had a WD in her 5 year old DEll which crashed about 3 months ago. I replaced it with a Seagate 80 GB, gave it to my son-in-law and it's doing great. Bottom line I think WD and Seagate are very good harddrives. Seagate probably comes out on top because of their warranty if you don't have to pay to much of premium for the warranty. Also, I've heard on these forums about how Seagate rebates totally suck, almost as bad as Soyo, and I've never had any difficulty getting my rebates from WD. If rebates were involved, I'd definitely go with WD.

I bought one of the 120GB WD's (could have been a slower model) about two years ago, from Circuit City for $10 plus tax and with 3 rebates.
When will prices EVER come down ????

awesome deal on the WD 120 SATA...wish i had seen it sooner.

I've had one for some time and it seems to be a good drive.

I got two of these from officemax for $3 each after rebates and pricematching. I'm very happy with them.

I have 3 800JBs also and haven't had problems with any of them.

I love capitalism!! Great deal!

YOyoYOhowsDAjello,

Did you get those drives for $3 recently? If so, what is the deal?

TIA,

nah, it was a while ago (like a year or so)

It was basically pricematch + coupon + 2 rebates

yeah...I've never received a Seagate rebate, but I have gotten all my WD rebates, I have 2 80gb Special edition WDs that have been going for years, I recently upgraded to a 300gb Seagate in my computer and a 200gb in my parents computer, and a 120gb in my sister's computer about a year and a half ago...mainly because of the 5 years warranty, 120gb rebates never came, got the 200gb in June, never received the rebates, when I bought the 300gb over christmas I just factored into the price that I wasn't going to get the rebates, although Bestbuy did send their rebate, Seagate still hasn't...
