Nice deal!

600 Gig for $120 .... not bad even if it is PATA


5 Gigs per $1
or
$0.20 per Gig

Either way you look at it ... a pretty nice deal.

 

[imported_elwood]

Sweet deal. It's "call for availability" at the moment though. :/

I was gonna post this around 9am this morning, but they were already sold out. Limited to quantities on hand for today only, no backorders.

D'oh! I'm still using an 80 Gig Maxtor that's going on 4 years old!

 

[dragsome]

I am still using two 80gb Maxtors in Raid 0 for 4 years

 

[Craig234]

Ordered one - it says call for availability but it takes the order.

 

[buzzdalf]

OK, mine went to back-order when the order processed.
Does this mean they will fulfill it, or will it get canceled?

 

[nyker96]

this is pretty awesome!

 

[TowerShield]

Darn, my order shipped (ordered later in the day yesterday). Just noticed the SATA version is also on sale for $10 more.

I am not sure if people realize that these new Maxtor drives now carry a 3 year warranty. I just picked up a couple of these drives at Fry's (same SKU number 4987821) and the drive box and the sales receipt have 3 year warranty written on it.

Nice!! I didn't realize that until you mentioned it. I got two at Fry's today. Got there around 8:15am, after CC and BB, and was suprised there were still a lot of stuff available.

Looking at the side label right now:
Maxtor DiamondMax 21, 3-Yr.Limited Warranty. S/N 5QF1xxxx. 300GB + 20GB bonus.

Nice Seagate pushing Maxtor back to a more nomal 3 Year Warranty. But this is essentially a Seagate HD. Even the serial number is in Seagate format.

just added this to my growing list of external hard drives. I actually bought a 120 gb WD PASSPORT mini external HD so i tried canceling this but it already shipped. Oh well, can never have enough hard drive space.

that's pretty risky! dont you think? I hope you don't have critical files there.

i'm not against any particular brands as I have experienced failures with all, but for older hdd's I would definitely do RAID1 or RAID5.

Should also note for +$10, you can get the SATA version.

Does the retail sata version have a power adapter ? Or is it the same connection as a pata drive?
