What is the world do you need 240 gigs for. Jesus Christ.

Exactly. If he's larger than life, just imagine how many gigabytes it would take to store him.

That's what people were saying about 20MB hard drives too

Thx...

I think this deal is not dead yet.

WD 120GB/8MB cache link at Dell

$218.95 - 10% - $10 off /$100 (find your coupon elsewhere)

that's about $187 shipped, not bad at all.

I cant get any of the coupons or anything to work on the Dell site....

Could SOMEONE PLEASE tell me WHAT THE HECK to do here ??

I've tried, but no codes work...it just tries to charge me full price.

Maybe I should just pay Newegg......Again, I need 2 of these.

 

[felixlee]

HA, clear your internet cache files before entering coupons. Good Luck.

Don't forget to go through www.ebates.com to save another $5.60 to make this deal even better! Sign up if you haven't yet, now it's the perfect time...

Couldn't get the Dell thing to work....not even close.

Just bought 2 of these from newegg for $211 I think it was.

Sometimes these deals aren't worth the hassel....

Good for you guys that got anything to work off that site....cudos to you.

I just don't have the freakin' time or the patience to screw with it.

And I don't want to delete all of my cookies to do this....to many places I have passwords with and whatnot.

So just not worth the hassel to me....

ATTENTION People with Western Digital 120GB (1200JB) Special Edition Hard Drives (8MB Buffer): How loud is your drive?

As the title states, people that own or have used the Western Digital 120GB special edition Hard Drive (8MB buffer), how loud is your drive? I am asking because I recently acquired two 120GB hard drives (brand new) and they seem to be emitting strange noises.

During the initial bootup, you hear them spinning up loudly (louder than say a 40GB 7200rpm drive, close to a 10k SCSI drive sound) and then afterwards there's lots of seeking noises (random loud seek noises that sound like something clattering inside the drives).

Does anyone experience the same thing? Is this normal for this drive to make those noises? Since it's about as loud as a SCSI 10k rpm drive (1st generation).

If not, do you think it's just a phyiscal error with BOTH of my drives, since both make the same noise? Let me know if I should RMA it.

Thanks in advanced.

Please reply in this general hardware thread or in this hot deal thread (of both ). Thanks!
