Free Seagate 5GB CF hard (micro) drive after instant coupon at Nowdirect.com

If you need it, can't do much better than free.

Edit: And there is 2% Live Cashback available (though you probably won't get anything if you order just the CF card).

Edit #2: Coupon code is in the banner when you click through.

Am I missing where the coupon code is? Also is it just me or does this also appears to be a microdrive too? If so it would be perfect for those CF SLRs such as a D70/s, D200 and up.

EDIT: FREE IS SWEET!!!

Doh!!!

 

[bamacre]

Sooo, where is the instant coupon code?

Edit: LOL, oh I see.

 

[Schmide]

I could use one. I guess

$6.20 ground shipping

you can pretty mucj get 4gb for a little less than this and 8gb for a little more.

Its a Ok deal but I would just order a 16gb onsale for like $20.00 like they have been several times, or a 8gb for $10.00

 

[Gillbot]

in for one

 

[thepieces]

keep in mind its a hard drive so its very likely it will fail and your pics will be unrecoverable

 

[ibex333]

The shipping price ruined it...


Thanx though.

I'm using it for a HDD in an ITX system so it'll be fine.

Coupon is dead for me.

Think of it as 6.20 for the item and free shipping. The OP should've written Free + s/h in the title.

Yeah, but $6.20 for a HD based 5 gb card? It's warmish, but not hot IMO.

Faster, not mechanical, and more capacity.... granted for ~3x the cost but still

 

[daveshel]

So is this thing suitable for use in my camera?

Maybe, but last time I used a microdrive in my camera and did 60 mins of video, by the time it finished saving the battery ran out and the vid was corrupted. Not bad for free tho!

 

[aceO07]

I have a dead CF microdrive in my desk. It was used in a DSLR for a couple of months before crapping out.

It seems like this would be a good option for a small linux server distro. You don't want to use regular CF because it will wear it out, but this is a real hard drive so that isn't an issue. However, I question the long term reliability of this... Hmm.

 

[Schmide]

What houe said is why i bought it.

Did you happen to notice the "+ s/h" in the subtitle?

Edit: If you happen to buy anything else at Nowdirect, the shipping is diluted.

I wanted to get one of these and give it a try with a old 98 rig for the hell of it, anyone else having trouble getting it to take a debit credit card?

Sorry. I guess I was a bit blind at that moment.

 

[loup garou]

Ordered one when it was posted. Going into an MSI Wind desktop barebones -- it has a CF slot on the mobo.

I used my debit. The shopping cart was kind of funky, but i finally got it to work after several attempts.

 

[AmongthechosenX]

i ordered one on my debit and one on my credit, no problems on either.
