Maxtor 30gb 7200 rpm hard drive for $82 + tax shipped

[hudsonhauck]

I'm not sure how "hot" this deal is, but I have been looking around for 30 giggers and this is the least expensive I have found for 30gb and 7200rpm. Check it out, correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to be not a HOT deal, yet it is at the same time, not a frigid one.

MAXTOR EIDE HARD DRIVE 30GB 7200RPM MODEL # 5T030H3 - OEM, DRIVE ONLY DiamondMax Plus Ultra ATA /100 2mb Cache Buffer <8.7ms Seek Time - 3 Years Manufacturer Warranty - 30.0 gb 7200 rpm

75 drive
+ 7 shipping
-------------------
$82 total (+ tax in CA I think)

It's good since there are no rebates involved, I suppose.

Ok deal since no rebate.

Maxtors are good drives. Muy IBM just crashed due to bad sectors after a year. I'm not going back to IBM's anymore! I've recently bought a few Maxtors from Newegg and they are very good. Under $90 for 40 GB drives! 7200 rpms ATA 100. Newegg has the best prices. Just ordered the new Maxtor 740X "fluid bearing" 40 GB drive for $92+$7 shipping! That's a deal you can't beat...Buy.com just does not have HD's in stock these days...

Anyway, go for the "fluid bearing" drives!

This deal is cold. Just get the 40GIG D740X for only 8 dollars more. Not only do you get 10 more gigs of storage... this drive is also a newer model which is faster.

How can a OEM drive from newegg have a 3 year warranty ?

It was 69.99 but it is now 89.99. The price changed on me when I was trying to add it to my cart. Oh well...

newegg.com has

Seagate Barracuda IV ST340016A 40gb 7200rpm EIDE , 9ms Average Seek Time, Ultra ATA 100, 3yr warranty

for $85 + $7 fedex, no tax for most people.

The Barracuda is a cut above the others in reliability and is DEAD QUIET. You literally can't tell if it is turning or not.
