IBM 60GXP 40GB - $125 shipped pcprogress

[Peter555]

40 GB, UDMA 100, 7200rpm, 2MB buffer, 8.5ms for $115 from Pcprogress go to IDE hard drives

I think this is a hot deal... I'm looking for an additional HD and I think this is going to be it - it's suppose to be the best drive and it's the cheapest I've found it.

They don't actually say on their website that it's the 60GXP model but if you go to www.storage.ibm.com and compare the drive specs it's the only drive that matches.

Please let me know if there is a hotter deal...

UPS ground shipping is $10, 2nd day fedex is $15

Damn you non-californians. Newegg has great prices and service, but I have never ordered from them because I want to avoid the dreaded californian tax. So for all the californians looking for this hard drive, i recommend Shentech, it has 6+ resellerratings, and the last time I checked they were selling it for 110, no 5 dollar fedex saver though, :|

if you have a bestbuy near by you can call up staples to price match with bestbuy. Bestbuy has the maxtor 40gb kit on sale this week for 129.99 with a free $25 gift card.

Apply a 30 off 100 coupon and the total is just 99.99 before tax free shipping. Of course you don't get the $25 gift card...

some ppl prefer the 60GXP tho.

The 60GXP is considered to be a small server solution based on IDE which is rare considering most servers run on SCSI.

Thanks for the tip, LivinLaVivaPollo. I too live in Calif. and try to avoid the sales tax. The IBM drive is on Newegg's main page now at $107, with Fedex Saver shipping being $9. I'm not sure of the tax rate where Newegg is, but I figured at 7.5% and the Shentech ends up being $5 cheaper for me at $119 total vs $124 at Newegg.

They also sell &quot;CABLE IDE 4 CONNECTOR&quot;. I've never seen a 4 connector IDE cable, nor can I think of any use for one!
