Seagate 80GB EIDE for $99.99 + S/H @Tigerdirect.com after $25 MIR !

Dang, seems like Dell has pulled it off their page. Usually they will simply say "Out of Stock," however now it can't even be found. Wonder if they're having inventory problems...

Seagate 80GB back listed on the Dell site. Ordered @109, less reate = 84, less ebate = $82.

Simon and Garfunkel (Sounds of Silence), here I come!

What coupons are you using to get it down? Are you using the $10 off and a 10% off coupons? Are you using any other coupons on top of that?

Thanks.

AT effect once again taking place! Damn Dell immediately raise the price......for 2 bucks!

It was $130.95 this morning. Glad I save $1.80

Not bad~

Nice Drive. I paid almost twice this amount from newegg a few months ago.

Finally got me a RAID partner.

Seagate Barracuda IV for $84 shipped after rebate!

Wow, they caught on pretty quick -- the rebate PDF file is now listing a number of participating retailers and Dell is not listed!
I saved a copy of the old version, think they would honor it?

For anyone who is trying to set up a raid with seagate 80gb: there is a known problem with seagate ata100 drives in raid mode. You'll get worse performance than a single drive. Better check if this problem is solved before you buy.

 

[uwannawhat]

Ahhh, yes thanks may. You've jogged my memory I remember reading something about that now that you mention it.


edit: Does anyone know if this applies for a RAID setup just for storage. Excuse my ignorance but this is my 1st RAID system.

 

[leesnuts]

Hey theshamu....could you send me a copy of the old pdf rebate form. I'm sure that they would honor it if it were in writing.

 

[jau]
