just a heads up: 400GB Seagate HDD @ NewEgg!

[Reikon]

I doubt it came from one source. Many people made the typing error.

Bless you.

I really like the whole "pwn or own" thing and most people have let it die like "whahhhhhhh--sssup?" and "Yeah, that's the ticket!" It's a shame.

But you, with one little post, have renewed my faith humanity and jump started my heart with that pleasant little phrase.

you must not play any games to think that pwn went away.

what is the origin of the word 'pwn'? is there a difference between 'pwn' and 'own'? how is it pronounced: "pone", "pawn"?

Urban dictionary is your friend

pwned!

I pronouce it "pone" in my head... never had to pronouce it in speech.

Since the 8th gen 'Cuda is native SATA, the PATA version probably has an extra bridge chip and it's cheaper. It's in the same logic as D-sub connector only LCD monitor actuall costs more to made but sales for less than the DVI models. What a rip-off!

The 16mb version 'Cuda will come out later because the new Maxtor already has 16mb cache. The best model of the new 'Cuda is probably the 250gb one. It's 2-platters design will be quieter than the 300 & 400gb model. Since it's conside a mid-end model the price would be much more reasonable.

how many ppl here have/would partition a drive this large?

 

[salsa086]

I would...

it would be a pain to have to transfer a few hundred gigabytes of stuff to another HD or set of HDs in the event I want to reinstall my OS

That would be my personal preference..
my preferred setup with this HDD:

25% OS
75% Data

 

[jpeyton]

Only $280 at CompUSA.com

 

[vital]

isn't 8ms slower than 7ms?

 

[croak]

like tmoney777 i got a few of these (pata) for $238 on Compusa's turkey day sale.

i thought the pata version didn't have command queuing.

400GB! Now if only my bandwidth could catch up.

 

[kyarchon]

"Yeah, that's the ticket!" was a popular phrase?? I never heard of it : (....
Everytime i see PWN i think Chess and opening moves.... : /

As other people have said, t3h l337 haxX0RZ pwn3t is h3r3 2 5t@y.

Pwned/pwnt/pwn is very much part of netspeak now

I figured out that much, thank you. My question, stated again, was where you found that data. I'd like a source.

 

[claffeyb]

When I searched on Seagate on compusa.com, the 300GB ($219.99) shows up but not the 400GB drive. But, when I search on Barracuda, then I could see both, with the 400GB at $279.99. Man, would have like to have gotten the 400GB for $238 though. I'm going to have to pass on $279 for now. Too much money spent on Christmas already...

Not only would I make it one partition, I'd set up 4 drives in RAID 5 to have one big ~1.2TB drive.

What is amazing is that the MSRP is suppose to be $299 for the 400 GB SATA version. The retailers are trying to milk it for all its worth with its limited showing in stores before the holidays. Seriously, WAIT a month on this one. They have a serious 33% price inflation simply because of the holidays and limited supply (this on top of the normal 8-15% increase above cost).

Good call. I will pass on this one......... for now.
