WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!
just checked my order status and it has shipped!!!
ordered mine Sat morning

and ive used these drives b4 if you are just using the HD without slaving anything to it
there should be no jumpers in them
if you slave another HD to it the jumper should be in the middle

hope this helps

I just received my Order Confirmation. I ordered the drive late Sunday night and it is "In Production" now and scheduled to ship on April 25. Hopefully there will not be any delays.

Just checked my email for the first time in a few hours and got my order acknowledgement AND order confirmation at virtually the same time. Dunno why they didn't send me something when I actually ordered it, but there you go. 25th is the date in the email, checked on the website with the number they gave me and it claims 26th. We shall see.

Ordered mine Saturday AM, got the confirmation right away. Mine says shipped as of today. Woo-hoo!

Great deal if it's a 120 Gig/2m. Scorching if it's a 120 Gig/8m! I'm happy either way...

Don't put too much stock in the confirmation notices. I never ever got one on the last hard drive I ordered from Dell. I thought it had been cancelled. Then one day an invoice shows up in my mail, and the hard drive shows up the next day...

You guys are jumping up and down but you still need to get the bottomline confirmed!
Please fill us and all in about the identification of whether or not you are receiving the Special Edition 8mb HD.....
Perhaps someone who has already got their drive or will soon can help fill us in.

I ordered on of these on Friday, it shipped today. AFTER it shipped I got a shipping email notice. With the free shipping and the coupon it came to

152$ out the door total.

I wonder if its faster than ata 133 speed drives?? Its only rated at ata 100 ,though it does have the 8mb buffer we all hope.

Anyone know??

ctk: Never mess with the jumpers on a hard drive unless you need to cripple it for compatibility with an obsolete system.

GotaReallyLongNic: This deal has been done many times from earlier hot deals at higher prices. See this thread for example. It is the JB drive with 8MB, etc. etc.

This will not work. You have to apply them for yourself. You can jump on this deal, get some techb@rgains, or open that phatwallet to find the coupon codes.

BTW Mine was shipped 4/22 great deal



<< I wonder if its faster than ata 133 speed drives?? Its only rated at ata 100 ,though it does have the 8mb buffer we all hope. >>



It is. If you go to Storage Review, click on DATABASE (top middle), then click on sort, you can compare this drive to lots of other drives(select the drives and click on Head to Head). Even the 1200BB owns most other drives(desktop performance).

Edit: More info.

I don't think it's a stretch to say this is the (one of the?) fastest IDE drive on the planet right now. ATA100/133 etc. are all marketing scams really, these drive's burst speeds don't approach 100/133 mbyte/sec.

<< where did you get the 20% off coupon, i didn't know one existed >>



I didn't apply any 20% coupon.. all I did was enter the -10 coupon...I wouldn't let me do the 10%.

It worked!!!! But you'll have to experiment with different coupon options. Try clicking "remove" on Save 10% on Dell System Upgrades - in my case, it changed to Save 20% on Dell System Upgrades! -$33.80.

HOT HOT HOT DEAL!!!

Sorry but you dont seem to understand that there is no identification (model#/mfg#) that matches the deal that involved the thread you posted... so you cant say this is the same deal as you have no concrete evidence of that as of yet... unless of course you ordered this particular "Dell" drive and did receive the JB model.

Hence I am raising the question.
Thanks for posting however in regards to my question.
