The drive is currently listed at $74.99 plus the promo code from the newegg.com newsletter that gives 10% off on all internal, external, and notebook hard drives. Seems hot for a 1 TB drive.

Got me one, too. I've been waiting for a great deal on a spinpoint for my htpc. My 500GB spinpoint is quiet and cool. Sweet!

Going with the samsung. Thanx!

Thanks OP. In for one. I have a 103 model as well. Will work great as a 2nd 1TB drive in my WHS.

 

[lokiju]

Dammit I want this so bad!

My wife will choke me if I even ask though

I absolutely love the HD103UJ. This looks like a newer version with a smaller cache. Anyone seen reviews for this?

 

[thepieces]

oh yeah just noticed, its a diff model

 

[M0RPH]

Dead for now. It was out of stock and now they've removed it from system.

 

[Corporate Thug]

god damnnit, I knew I should have ordered before going to lunch.

 

[thepieces]

it might be a misprint HD102UJ doesnt appear to exist

 

[California Roll]

Deal is not dead, was able to add one to cart just now.

Also, it looks like HD102UJ is valid, and not a new model. http://www.tomshardware.com/re...-hard-disk,1638-9.html

Towards the bottom of the article (from 2007) there's mention of it.

I can't find any reviews on this tho to compare with the HD103UJ.

edit: It is dead. Can add to cart but not checkout.

Correct. I believe this cheaper one is the older original F1 with 320GB platter density whereas the HD103 model is the newer model with 500GB platter density.

This is just off the top of my head though. I could be wrong. Either way...awesome deal!

 

[ClockerXP]

FOUND THE SPECS. Looks like the only difference between the HD102UJ and the HD103UJ is the amount of cache memory. I still think the newer drives have higher platter density. I think the spec. sheet below is a little old.

Unlikely. It's their F2 drives that have 500GB platters and those drives don't seem to be available yet.

* In for One !

Thanx mitchafi , OP

I owe you one ...

 

[jjmIII]

Is the promo code over??

 

[Tullphan]

dunno if the promo code's over, but the price went back up $10

*Edit* I put one in my cart & used the promo code & it did take 10% off, so I guess it's still good.

ONE DAY SHIPPING !

Nice bubblewrap packageing .

HDD P/N : HD102UJ/Y

< savoring the short term thrill of a good deal >

 

[dbk]

i'm using this hard drive in my rig... so quiet i love it

 

[Lanyap]

Received mine today. Box looked like UPS played football with it. It was packed pretty good though with peanuts and bubble wrap so I'm hoping it was not damaged. I can't blame NE for the shipping damage. I'm running Hitachi DFT now to make sure it's ok.

I don't know what it is but whenever I order a 1TB HD I always have shipping issues. Last time it was the TD packaging issue with the WD 1TB black a few months ago. Between this and my problems with Geeks.com I think I'll stop ordering stuff for a while. :shocked:
