Update: ONLY $40 NOW FOR DELUXE AT NEWEGG WITH FREE SHIPPING and nah, I dont always type in caps.

All the OM around here accept competetor's coupons. YMMV on that bit of the deal. I'm in Vancouver, WA; if anyone cares about where the deal is assured. the drive is Item#: 644405302019

Did this thanks to FW. Tag says $200, but it rings up as $150-$80 instant off (promo code) automatically. There is also a $50 rebate. Don't forget to use any OD or staples coupons you have, I used a $15 off $75 staples and got this drive for $10 AR/AC/after tax. Hot, me thinks.

I didn't have the coupon, and neitehr did a friend of mine, we both got the drives today. No problems. Thanks again to FW for hot hot deals :) Oh, and Anandtech too.

Apolgies if this has been covered, didn't see any in the search. I have a G5 tower with a DVD-R burner available to me through a friend to burn DVD-R's. I bought some of said media and it burned successfully, however when I attempt to read from the DVDs in my PC's DVD-ROM drive the drive acts...

still available in a few stores in OR for pickup.

This is rate-adaptive? DOes that imply load balancing? Ala, my kazaa downloads will be faster, but only if i'm not uploading concurrently?

I got $30 of my Cendyne rebates, with another $30 processing.

That's true, no jumpers. It's booting now anyhow. Turns out the format didn't work the first few times, the last time I tried it was flawless. Thanks for your help guys.

There isnt' a jumper to select the boot device, sata or otherwise. However, this may help: When I select HDD-1 through HDD-3 as the only boot device (*disable boot from other devices) it outputs "DISK DRIVE ERROR" and tells me to insert a system disk. Makes sense. But when I select SCSI or...

No it's nto an AMD chipset. It's running an Nforce2 with a SATA raid controller. In the RAID controller setup there is no way to specify bootable drive, because I can't even get passed the "F1 to select drive" as F1 doesn't select the drive. In fact, nothing seems to do anything. I believe...

Yes, it has SCSI as well as "other". I have tried them to no avail :(

I just recently purchased a Biostar 200n small form factor PC with Serial ATA. The SATA hard drive I hooked up seems to be working fine, as does most of the other hardware. I say most because I can't get the bios to boot from the serial ata ide drive! After going through the win2k pro...

Not to crap, but this is YMMV. OMax's new policy is not to allow coupons on FAR items, but maybe you can call and get a CS rep that won't know or care.

Holy cow, it's 3AM and the office max's in Portland, Vancouver, WA and Seattle are all sold out of the DVD+RW and DVD-RW. THey had 4 alone at the store nearby. Deal is going fast...
