Evertek 160GB SATA $63, good price?

[msmith]

saw Evertek.com selling the Maxtor 160GB SATA drive for $63, is that a good price?

i saw orange juice at the store for $2 is that a good price?

 

[afoygel]

yeah that looks like a good deal, i just got my sata 80gb western digital for $55 from newegg today

 

[smartt]

It's according to how much orange juice you were getting for $2.

 

[amdhunter]

Not very many reseller ratings.

 

[pibb]

they are refurbished, good price thought anyone had expirence with refurbished harddrives?

It's a refurb, 180 day warranty

 

[TheShiz]

refurb and maxtor, that doesn't sound good. i have had nothing but bad luck with new maxtors.

 

[Porter21]

Bwhahahah... on a maxtor. No way would I touch that. I'm expecting my refurb (replacement after orig. started to die) 160gb IDE to die soon. Probably 2 days after warranty officially runs out. Seriously though, for $85-95 you could buy a brand new WD or Seagate 160gb sata drive with a 3 year or 5 year warranty. The twenty bucks extra is worth it.

Evertek is the wholesale/distributor side of geeks.com. You have to have a resellers/business license to order from them. It appears that geeks.com is selling this drive and no, it's not a good deal because it is a refurb.

refurbs are a total nightmare I process about 20 RMA claims a day on refurb hard drives at work.

My IDE Maxtor has been running fine for about a year now..
