I checked eBay yesterday afternoon and there were 44 ongoing auctions for "Seagate 120GB". Today there are 125 ongoing auctions for the same listing as "Seagate 120 GB'.

I've never had any problems with Seagate rebates. I've done maybe 5 or 6 over the last couple years. Always arrived. I think maybe one was a week or so late. The others were right about the 8-week time that they say in the fine print.

"Why would you spend $40 on a 120gb drive when you can get 160gb drives for $29.99 after rebate every week???
I'm guessing some of you dont even have a checking account lol."

i don't. checks are for girlie men

Seagate is very good about rebates. I've always gotten mine. Nice deal but I'm waiting for another 160gb SATA Seagate for $40 AR deal.

 

[ironk]

anyone know what the difference is 133mb/s vs 100mb/s? What does this effect? Does it effect how fast i can surf the net?

By the way , the drive is very quite compared to the last one i had.

thanks for the info I got 2 in store

i bit.....i had to stop by the bank and BB was accross the street. I bought one with a 10% coupon. 35$ otd. The libe at BB was huge today. What else was on sale? They had about 5 HD left in Natick/Framingham.

Since I just bought a PVR-150 MCE, I had to buy this. There were about 6 left in the Columbia MD BB at 1230pm. Can this HD be used in a RAID setup? If so, I'll drop by after work and pick another one up.

 

[tealk]

yes they can ingko

In that case, pick up another 3 and do a 0+1 redundant array and have the best of both worlds...

this is super hot at $38 out the door. plus, like fbrdphreak said, i enjoy purchasing loss leader items from Worst Buy.

Amazing that I've been here all these years and have missed those 160GB drives for $29.99 AR every week! :roll:

If anyone doesn't mind the rebates (yikes 3 of them) and only needs one drive, CompUSA has the 160GB Seagate for $39.99 AR this week. 304907.

I'm thinking because you can't do 6 rebates at once and doing individual rebates is a PITB

Isn't 120 right under the limit that some people have if they dont' have the 'large drive access' setting turned, on even if they are running XP?

 

[RBBRMADE]

Picked up the last two at Charlotte (University) store this morning.

Yes, it's under the 137 GB limit.

Dead as in it isn't priced at $39.99 or that there were no left?

For once someone reports back on the MA situation... thx Gibson I'll let ppl know what Worcester is looking like.

This deal is still alive at the Santa Rosa, CA BB. I picked up 3 drives this afternoon. It looked like there were about 15 drives left on the shelf.

 

[whattaguy]

Would these make a nice, cheap RAID set-up?

 

[manho1dup]

Just pick one up today at BB in Sugarland, TX if anyone interested. 23 left.

Both of the drives I got were 7200.9's, pretty happy, thought I was going to get 7200.7's.
