Factor in the shipping and it's only $14. For the bigger drive it'll probably be worth it for most.

eWiz is selling the Maxtor 300GB 16MB SATA II drive for $109 shipped (w 3yr warranty). Must go through pricewatch.
Not true. Apples and oranges. Overstock is selling refurb drives.Originally posted by: Tannahill
Really. If you want a Maxtor, go to overstock.com. They are loaded with them since no one wants them.

i'm not trying to crap, but i've heard anecdotal evidence that the 7200.8 isn't as reliable as the previous series. many recommend getting the 7200.9 series because it has one less platter.
any truth to that?
I actually heard the opposite, that the 7200.8 were more reliable than the 7200.9 series.
Hmmm, I'm going to have to look into this.
