Only 2MB cache, but Samsung drives (at least from what I've read about them on StorageReview.com), are supposed to be quite reliable. A real three-year warranty is getting to be a rarity these days too. The price is just shy of $1/GB, but $70 out-of-pocket sure beats some of the deals that cost $100+ up-front.
where is the $20 dollars rebate for the Office Depot Maxtor 80GB L01P080 ???
I can't find it. I can only find the $30 dollars rebate from their website. thanks
Please shed some light on your purchase. Do you have a scan of your receipt. There is nothing on their site about the 160gb drives for $89.00. (Did they substitue the 160 for the 80gb because they were out of stock?)
Sorry bout that but is ended l12/31. I thought it went until Friday but just doublechecked my receipt and it ended yesterday. It appears it was a 4 day special.
I am dismayed at the paltry one year warranty. IBM Drives used to be (or at least I thought) the most reliable. Why are there none listed here...is IBM out of the drive business?
Anyone know which drives have the best performance... I've burned out a lot over the years and I for one, am getting mighty tired with it...
Items listed here are on special offer (usually with Rebates) ... BB/CC/CUSA/OD/OM/ST/etc don't stock IBM/Hitachi ... only NewEgg do ... (and occasionally Frys / Outpost) ...
But unfortunately at the moment I'm unable to access Fry's ads online ... (they come up blank - as does the menu on the left of the CC site) ... my laptop is in desperate need of a rebuild ... once I'm able to access Frys ads online, I'll start to include them ...
Thanks for the info. I just picked up the 160Gb Seagate at BestBuy for my quiet pc that I'm working on. The regular price for the hard drive was $159.99 instead of $169.99. In addition to the $50 MIR, a $20 BestBuy rebate also printed out making the AR price of the drive $89.99.
The BestBuy rebate only requires a copy of the UPC code.
The upcoming WD 160gb at CUSA looks very nice, but I have a heads up for everyone. I just got back from there because I was going to prebuy it thinking that this will be a hot seller. Much to my dismay, all the 160gb drives they had were 2mb cache. I managed to find one 8mb model and was going to buy it, but the UPC code and model number is different so I bet it wouldn't qualify for the rebates.
I didn't think they were bothering with 2 meg models anymore.
