Fry's ---- 250gb HD 16mb Buffer NO REBATE $109

As seen in the SJ Mercury Fry's ad.

I imagine this is not Serial ATA (won't matter to everyone), but less than 50 cents per gigabyte (especially with no rebates) is hot. :thumbsup:

and 16mb buffer

What's the brand? Any idea? Please update when details are known.

Is that a $50 MIR or is it straight-up?

Well you can see the newspaper ad on here: fry's ad
just click on where it says "250gb", but it doesn't show any picture of the hd or anything. Just says 250GB UDMA/133 Hard Drive. Retail Boxed Hard Drive(Installation kit included)
7200RPM, 16MB Buffer, "No Rebate Required" $109.99

Maybe it will show it better when the full fry's ad comes out in the Thursday paper.

Only Maxtor makes UDMA/133 hard drives with 16 MB cache. Someone owes Childs $50. (PSSST, Childs, my commission is 50% of your earnings )

Nice deal...bummer it's B&M only :|

No Fry's here =(

 

[littlebitstrouds]

anyone willing to pick one up for this east coast guy?

 

[racer42]

San Jose only, grrr! I checked Burbank Fry's, no deal here.

 

[zoiks]

Just got one. It is a Maxtor. I remember when I used to work in retail and I learned that manufacturer's would only allow retailers to put their products up on sale at cheap prices on the condition that they not divulge their name in the ad.
Anyhow there were only 4 left at the sunnyvale Fry's.
Bastards wouldnt even label the shelf with the advertised special. They only put up the 'Recommended Value' sign that depicted a 300 gb drive with 8mb smaller buffer for 100 bucks more.

Thanks for the heads up.

Can't imagine paying $109+tax for this drives. :disgust:

Got 2 of these for $69.50+tax when Staples had them on clearance 2 weeks ago. And yes both drives I got have 16mb cache.

 

[KristopherKubicki]

Hmm... well there are some good deals on existing drives anyway:
