Semi-Hot: WD 300GB Internal HD $100 AR

[TecHNooB]

Western Digital 300GB Ultra ATA/100

I saw this deal at the store. It's not SATA, so that makes it semi-hot.

$180 at the register though... Sheesh

Same thing is $69.99 AR at BestBuy

I think 300GB is worth about 70-80 AR right now. Saw one last week on Fry for that much. But nevertheless good posting.

$160 - $90 MIR = $70 AR @ BB

Would it be possible to use the 10% off accessories coupon on this item to knock another $16 off?

I give it a 'not hot' for 2 reasons. 1. the best buy deal eclipses this deal and 2. only a 1 year warranty. Seagate offers a 5 year warrant and hitachi offers a 3 year warranty. IMHO Western digital needs to extend their warranty to stay competitive with Seagate.
