VERY warm Western Digital 160 GB $129 (No Rebates!) at Sams Club B&M

[DefDC]

Been stalking the shelves at Sams B&M for WD 200GB->160GB, but no dice in South Bend, IN, but the price has finally dropped from $149 to $129. In a weak moment, I bought it anyways... No rebates, easy returns, heck, it was worth it. Still gonna stalk the shelves and pick up a 200GB if I can find it!

Neither CC or BB will PM Sams around here.

what speed and cache size? SE?

 

[DestruyaUR]

To my knowledge the 160GB drive @ Sam's Club IS an 8MB cached drive. It's becoming such a staple it's rarer nowadays to find a drive WITHOUT 8MB.

Yes, but it has been that way for a couple of weeks, but I picked one up for a friend last week.

Price was just lowered this week for us. Yes, it is the 8MB SE. Just getting ready to ghost over to it right now!

Why oh why am I cursed with the Sam's Club that is complete devoid of computer hardware, give or take a few laptops and pre-built systems.

Oh well, hot deal I can't afford much of anyways ;P

Not to threadcrap, but:

Isn't that 120GB drive for $59 @compusa a way better deal? Of course, it's not WD, but still...

Also, if you're patient to wait a few weeks for good stackable coupons, you could get a much better deal at Dell without rebates

nice deal. thanks.

Yep -- I picked up a 200GB WD w/ 8mb cache last week for $159. This was $20 less than NewEgg - I was VERY surprised! I'd much rather buy it at this price than from CompUSSR or Best Buy and have to fsck with rebates, price matching, etc. Sam's offers the lowest out-the-door price, and for that I rewarded them.

anyone have a scan for the hard drive, seems to be removed from their website

 

[DestruyaUR]

Staples has the 160GB Maxtor 8MB cached drive this week for 129.99 - 30 MIR = 99.99.

Go with which brand you want
