Cheapest HDD out there that is of good quality?

[Philippine Mango]

Looking for the cheapest HDD out there with moderately good quality like maxtor, WD or seagate... Also it needs to have very good capacity.

Is this for inside your server on in a firewire case? If the former are you getting a SATA HBA?

$194 300GB

You can find some good deals at retail stores like circuit city and some others.

inside the server. I will most likely just buy an external case for the drive with firewire support if I plan on going external. I need a really cheap drive that is like $0-$40 if that is possible.

Can you swing $65

Bah but the thing is $65 isn't very cheap for a 80Gb drive....

You can get a much slower older gen 80gb for $44...

This? 3 yr warranty.

I personally like Samsung over WD or Maxtor but have used all of them with good results.

Check out this post today in Hot Deals I got in on it myself because its was just so cheap. On the other hand I would recommend Seagate over Maxtor for the increased warrenty.
