Just wondering if you guys think this is a good deal? thanks

I would think so. I paid like $130 for mine two years ago.

i dont know. "labeled by mediamax" makes me think it is re-certified/refurb or something like that. it is the same price as the re-certified 74gb raptors at the egg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136067 newegg also has a lot better rankings than ascendtech.

what does re-certified mean?

someone buys a product and then sends it back the manufacturer for whatever reason. the manufacturer repairs it or corrects the deficiency (missing cable) or whatever and then sells it as re-certified. all products that are re-certified or refurbed must be labeled as so. this one doesnt say anything about that so maybe this thing is just what it says it is--an oem drive under the mediamax name. the 8mb cache drives have been replaced by 16mb cache ones. i'm a little curious what kind of warranty is included.

There are better places to buy from than AscendTech.
If you're sweating over a few bucks, don't go for a Raptor at all.

For the record, I would pass. :laugh:

Well yeah, it's a refurb... I thought that went without saying.

You've been around here for a couple of years now. You've seen how people assume things unless they're spelled out.
