i bought a total of 4 hitachi 160gb sata drives from compusa.
i was about the 160th person in line. they allowed about 150 people go in first then waited about 5 mins before they allowed another group to go in. at first, the hitachi drives were cleared instantly the store was opened. i saw a guy put a hitachi 160gb back on the shelf and quickly grabbed it. 10 mins later while i was walking around the store, i looked at the box i was holding and noticed it said "parallel ata" rather than "serial ata". at that point, i was hearbroken. . i waited in line for 2 hrs empty handed. all of a sudden a compusa guy walks down the isle with a cart stacked with hitachi sata drives, about 4 rows of them. i quickly ran to him and my family and i grabbed a total of 8 boxes. we didnt have enough time to think so we just grabbed as much as possible. then we walked to the corner of the store and thought how much we really needed. i decided to keep 4 and put the rest back to the shelves. it was a glorious night and i got everything i wanted.
edit: anyone know how i should go about with the rebates? all 4 drives were bought seperatly (4 transactions). the ad did not say limit 1 person, but should i play it on the safe side and write 4 different names/addresses?
Just give one to me..and I will deal with the rebates!
i kinda need all four. one for desktop, three for server (raid 5).
DIAF.
Those fkin compusa employees told me what ever is outside is what is left in their inventory.
LIARS.
LIARS.
YOU GUYS MADE ME SPEND $250 MORE FOR THE ALTERNATIVE BUILD.
I JUST NEEDED THAT SATA HARD DRIVE.
