Too bad I hate rebates, nice deal

 

[MrPaulAR]

I'll take this action! Glad I didn't open that 200Gb one I bought on Friday.

Picked up the sata drive. Thanks op.

The SATA drive is fluid dynamic bearing, which is good & WD's site shows it's more quiet than some of the other WD models, but loud compared to other company's offerings. The only review I could find was for the 250GB model: http://www.storagereview.com/a...0030904WD2500JD_1.html This review indicates that WD uses a PATA-to-SATA conversion chip, but the review is old (September 4, 2003). Does anyone know if this bridge is still used and/or if there are any other reviews? Thanks!

i dont know, last i read, there were very few 'true' sata drives(most used some kind of conversion chip or something)
also, i read that not many sata drives support command cueing(?)(i think thats what its called)

AFAIK, Seagate is only native SATA drive in the mainstream market. (Except Raptor ) And for NCQ, again, Seagate is only offering the feature with thier newest line-up (300GB+ models), AFAIK.

AFAIK?

Sometimes you have to break the rules to reap the big savings.

 

[Tdavis5432]

Um, I'll say one thing and leave it at that.. If you could not figure out that cheat was supposed to be cheap perhaps i underestimated the intelligence of some of the members, forgive me and please, get a life asap thanks!

"asap"? what does "asap" mean? I know what "A.S.A.P." means, but I can't figure out "asap".

Go further down on the page to the listings and you'll see the drives. Click on the drive(s) and you see rebates below. Note the Antec case is a tempting deal too! I used to like 15 minutes from a Microcenter... Hrm.. 8.75% tax or shipping? Hrm .

The Serial ATA drive does not show up now.

Not so! - Scroll to about 70% down the page.

 

[the Juice]

I ordered two days ago and got an email saying backordered, anyone else get shipped yet?

 

[ir0nw0lf]

Keep in mind that since these are retail boxed WD drives, only 1-year warranty on them. Still a good price, just wanted to make sure everyone knows these aren't the 3-year variety.

 

[dsng0403]

I guess the SATA drive deal is dead now. If you click the link, it says 'No result found'.. Nuts..

 

[crippledgiant]

Outpost has same dealOutpost for the SATA @ $49 AR

 

[silverbullet555]

Got in on this one. Shipped from PA a few days ago.

Contemplating getting a second one since outpost has it too!
