PLEASE COMMENT ON AND DISCUSS THIS DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No free shipping and sales tax kills the deal.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

It has free shipping!!!!!

Uses the new 4KB physical sector. This increases data consistency and reliability and significantly reduces the amount of overhead needed for ECC and sync (allowing for more space available to the user).

This drive uses the new 4KB physical sector, not to be confused with 4KB logical sectors. When you format a standard drive to have 4KB sectors that only relates to the logical size of the sectors, not their physical size. The physical sector size is set at manufacturing.

If you are planning on running Windows XP on this drive you must either jump pings 7 and 8 or run their WD Align application.

However, if you plan on running a modern Windows OS (Vista or 7), Linux, or Mac OSX, then no additional steps are required. For more info on special circumstances go here: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/advancedformat/

Good price, but I'm very leery of Dell regarding actually shipping orders these days, at least in a timely manner. Anyone ordered it and gotten a shipping date yet?

$99.99 now.

$99.99 now.

You need to use the Dell Part# A3513590. It is still 69.99.

Just ordered one, $75 and change. Reviews on the 'Egg say its a little slow but since I'll be using it as a storage drive it doesn't matter.

Thanks for posting!

Typical Dell deal that's gone in a nanosecond. I've learned to pretty much ignore them.

 

[kalrith]

Typical daily deal that's gone in a day. The problem is that I still don't know the definitions of daily or day. ARGH!!!

fixed

Dell's "daily" deals rarely ever last that long. Please take your trolling somewhere else.

The OP posted at 9:56am. The daily deals usually start at 8 or 9am EST (I forget).

JasonSix78 posted at 08:46 PM that he had just ordered it. The poster who saw it as dead posted the day after. I think many of the Dell Daily deals do last pretty well. I.e. there's nothing "trolling" about kalrith's post.

Dell's "daily" deals rarely ever last that long. Please take your trolling somewhere else.

Which would be considered trolling: saying a daily deal sucked because it didn't last more than 24 hours, or calling out the complainer for lacking the knowledge of what a daily deal is?

ps...it's obviously the former.

Edit: Thanks, jalaram, for pointing that out.

 

[qliveur]

Whatever. I bow to your superior knowledge.
