Good deal on 81gig hard drive for those in Toronto area

[jbently]

I went to Computer Fest today Compfest and there was a special on a Maxtor UDMA 100 5400rpm 81GB drive. It was $295 CDN (approx $199 USD) and comes with a lifetime warranty. Compufest ends tomorrow at 6PM so if you plan to get one get it quick

Lifetime warranty?

Maxtor will only warranty a drive for 3years and any store which would give lifetime warranty is either going to go broke or they will go broke anyway when people keep returning the drive for a new one.

ARGGHHHH... I want one of these! And at that price?!?! I wish I was Canadian.. or there at least. Eh? Someone wanna pick me up one?

No way can they give a lifetime warranty on a hard drive.

 

[jbently]

the warranty is not through maxtor but through the company that is distributing it (PC Power Drive)

PC Power Inc/ PC Peripherals Inc isn't located in Canada right? Looks as though they are located in Colorado... so the prices on their site is USD. Is $250 USD still a good price for this drive? (81 gb)
