Staples 6/8 -- Maxtor 30GB 7200 RPM $20 AR/AC

If you look at the google search look almost at the bottom...

The same deal is again on Staples and the amount is again $19.94 so I did not post it as a new deal.
Basically instead of $20 instant saving they have reduced the price to $59.94. Apply a $10 coupon and there is $30 rebate so price is reduced to $19.94.

Just search and add 496430 to your cart.

Even such "small" drives as this have their uses in tweaked-out systems. Install it as a second hard drive on its own IDE channel, then set up a partition at the front of the drive -- maybe 2 GB worth -- to be used as your system's virtual memory. Set this as a static size and location in your system properties.

This way, your drive heads don't have to shuttle back and forth between the virtual memory and the actual hard drive storage. Another tip is to unzip/unrar files to a second hard drive on its own IDE channel. This is probably the most processor-intensive task my computer does on a regular basis, besides game playing, and the second hard drive really speeds things up.

or you can use 2 small hard drives to do a raid

I ordered one up for 49 - 30 Mailer. Its on the way soon. IMO this is a blazing hot deal. 30 GB is more than enough for most peoples systems asssuming you aren't into downloading massive ammounts of data for presumablely legitimate purposes...

go to pricebandit.com to get the $10 of $50 coupon

In the past with Staples, I just logon to my account and look up past orders. Click the order and print that screen. No problems doing that...

SO if I buy TWO I should be able to use the $30 off $150 coupon?

And to add to the deal...NO tax in Oregon!

Sweet, I was gonna go buy a 160 gigger though I would prefure this deal so I can run RAID and save some MAJOR$$


Thanks!

Dammit! This forum is killing me! Thanks for the deal... but my wallet says you all stink.

DVD+RW, RAM, 30GB HD, THINKPAD for my GF! It seems that I actually LOSE money by working (and thus thinking I can splurge on some AT hot deal action)...

Cheers,
RDaneel

You might have to deal with the rebate people if they see 2 of them on your receipt...

Yeah, she rang them up seperatly for that reason.

BTW: She said "You have to have the coupon code printed out, I'll do it for you THIS time, but..."

Then she DIDN'T give me my $10 off $50 and I had to go back and have it corrected.

Got two new drives now though. Finally I can get my game server up and running. And NOW I have packaging to send back my other two BAD Maxtor drives!
