First of all, $99 is one HOT price for this 80 gig drive. I would definitely jump on this if i did not have one already. I bought one several months ago for over $200 and i am still waiting for a rebate .
NOT A THREAD CRAP: Things to be aware of QPS:
1. They declared bankruptcy a few weeks ago. If this is an instant rebate, the price is really good for $99. If there is any MIR, you can kiss it goodbye. I am not holding my breath to get mine, which was supposed to be given to me last April.
2. Customer service is quite poor. When my HD started having problems a couple of months after purchase, I called them up numerous times... same thing. I was put on hold for AROUND 2 HOURS, beofore hanging up on me. grrr. this constntantly happened even BEFORE they declared bancrupty. Now that they filed for chapter 11, i do not know what kind of warranty and support they be able to provide.
