40GB Quantum ATA/100 7200 rpm drive for $104 after rebate!!!

[brtspears2]

HOT PM Deal at staples, but I just pulled this one off.

Pricematched onvia.com item QMP40000AS-A to Staples Item IM1222763

Brough it down to $172.98

Used a Staples.com coupon, of the $40 off $150 kind

Brings it to $132.98 + Taxes



Quantum offers a $40 rebate on this drive:

Which brings it down to about $104 after rebates. Not bad for a 7200 rpm drive, udma/100, and 8.5ms seek time.

You're not sure if this is hot??!! This is not only hot this is real burning hot deal!!

 

[WalkingDead]

This is a hot deal for sure! I need storages.


Should I use Staple B&M or Staples.com for this deal?

 

[brtspears2]

Ok, so it is a HOT deal, for such an awesome drive.

Just call them up, do a PM.

Pretty darn good deal there. Quantum came through with the $30 rebate on my 30gb Quantum LM+ drive earlier this year.

Just FYI, the Quantum AS series 40gb is actually a decent bit slower than the older Quantum LM+ series even though the LM+ has lower density and only supports ata66. Check Storage Review for the details if you want.
This is still an excellent drive. I have owned several LM+ series Quantum's and they more than make up for some of the crappy older drives quantum made several years back.

 

[MontyBurns]

I'm not saying these aren't the same drive, they likely are, but where does it say on the Staples site that this is the Quantum AS? I don't see ANY part numbers anywhere. Didn't your CSR question whether or not they were teh same drive?

I am wanting to buy a new harddrive but I am undecided about the one posted here and this one I found over at Techbargains:

"IBM 45GB 75GXP $141, Dec 28

Buy.com has the IBM 75GXP 7200 RPM 45 GB drive for $171.95 - $30 coupon = $141.95 shipped. (Thanks Jon) (cut and pasted from techbargains)

Can someone tell me which is the better bargain and or the better hard drive.

Thanks in advance

 

[Aboroth]

The IBM 75GXP is definitely better than the Fireball AS. Just go check out Storage Review.

I'm just saying performance-wise, I'm not saying its a better deal. You have to decide if the extra performance is worth the extra money.

 

[cape123]

Oops, nevermind.

It seems that the 30 off 150 at Buy.com has expired prematurely. So it looks like I will be going for the Quantum

EDIT

Just called Buy.com and their coupon servers are down. The nice CSR applied the $30 coupon with free shipping and I got the IBM 45 GB for $137!!!

 

[Tacoma99]

Good price but I think I'll wait till CompUSA has another sale on the Western Digital 45GB ATA66 for $99. I did this deal back around Columbus Day.

 

[CarlGibbs]

It actually comes to 173.98-40-40=$93.98. I guess this should include shipping as Onvia gives free ground shipping, but you never know.
-Carl

PS: Actually, it came 10 $140 after tax. So after the MIR it's $100. Sweet

 

[polotek147]

Can you spare a Staples.com coupon code for the offer that you are referring to: $40 off a $150 or more purchase. Thanks

 

[WalkingDead]

Damn, none of my local Staples carry any kind of Quantum drives. But bump for the hot deal anyway.

 

[brtspears2]

You are suppose to do it over the phone to get the pricematch, as this drive is a special order part.

 

[polotek147]

where can I get the staples coupon?

 

[shawnmos]

How did you do a price match and how did you get a staples.com coupon? Cause I think I'm gonna buy one.

 

[JJordan]

Staples is not listed as one of the "quantum Authorized MArketers" in the US is it ? Just reading my rebate form and wondering. Also, I used 2 30 off 150 coupons today -- go look at other web sites

 

[amnesiac]

If it's the new Quantum Fireball series then it's a good drive but not as speedy as the IBM. If you can get a better deal on the IBM GXP then go for that but the Quantum is no slouch by any means..

 

[cape123]

Thanks amnesiac 2.0

I am happy with my purchase and can't wait to get it. But I am paying $30 more

 

[shawnmos]

What is the coupon code?? Please tell me.

 

[WalkingDead]

brtspears2,

thanks for the tip again.


Everybody else that's looking the coupon code go to:

tech..........







............bargains.com

 

[WalkingDead]

Just call Quantum this morning & they said Staples is NOT one of their authorized dealer, so therefor, no mail-in rebate if you buy from Staples.

 

[VAP0R]

no MIR if u order from Staples? That suxs. I was hoping this deal would work.

 

[CarlGibbs]

They seem to have moved the quantum rebate URL. The one at the given url:
http://www.quantum.com/quantum/promos/fbplus_as_rebate_form.htm
points to a rebate valid for purchases between 1/1/1 to 3/31/1
Does anyone know where the rebate form for purchases in December 2000 is? I can find some older rebate forms but not this one.
Thanks

Below is the list of "authorized Quantum" dealers. I found this list on the Quantum website. If Buycom still has the $30 off $150, you can get an excellent deal from them. Of course getting your rebate from Quantum requires great patience.
