looks like buy.com has the ibm 15 gb 75gxp's in stock. ordered mine on sunday when it was on order, i check status and it is now sent to wherehouse. on the site, they took out the on order on status and now put ships in 28-48 hours. some people wanted this, so heres your chance. i got 2 for $200 with the 30 buck coupon.

Mine was delivered last Friday after waiting for 2 weeks. Great drive. Very quiet. Only the slightest sound from head movement and no whine.

i know i'm kinda retarded for not knowing, but where can i find that $30 coupon?

 

[BiggieN]

i have the 30 gig version. great drive. awesome to raid.

 

[joeryu]

go to www.techbargains.com they have the coupon link under coupons. it expires at end of month, so hurry up. one question, do these hard drives run hot?? i had a maxtor 7200 rpm and it was SCALDING to the touch.

nice site jOjO316. I like it. Deals are cool

 

[Nightwatch]

Put a fan on it JoJo

 

[joeryu]

i had a cooler on it, and it helped. do the 75gxps need hard drive coolers as well?? cuase if they do, i want to order some and have it ready when my drives come.

 

[poipoi]

does anyone know why whenever i try to use a coupon it says ive already used one and will take it out of my basket?

I have two 15 gig 75gxp's in raid with the promise fastrak and I have had my system up for two days and the two drives are cool to the touch and they run very quiet.

 

[joeryu]

so it looks like i wont need to cool them with coolers. thanks for the info buddy, i appreciate it

 

[dandan]

i have 4 of the 15 gig drives and 2 of the 30 gig drives ant work and they all run cool and quiet.
no need to cool them with extra fans.

 

[joeryu]

do you guys run it raid 0 or raid 1?? im looking to run raid 0, heard they are fast as hell with the 75gxps.

Jojo316, It's awesome ... check out my thread at HOCP ATA100 RAID Setup

 

[POKEMAN]

thanks for the tech link jOjO316

 

[AgGolfer]

I have mine set up at raid 0. I installed windows98se in 15 minutes. They are very fast, especially opening up programs. Booting time is ok.

just wondering since this is 5400 rpm. What would I go better with, WD 20.5 7200 rpm but only ultra 66 or this one 5400rpm but ultra 100.
This is for a system with raid 0 (abit kt7 Mother Board)

 

[Pongpan]

It's 7200rpm

 

[Taylorm]

hmm pretty good deal.. i ordered mine direct from IBM and i think the total for 2 15gb ibm 75gxps was like 270 !

 

[prodigy]

oops wrong thread

 

[crazyjoekuta]

cool, i just got 2 of them @ $89 (+ 3 for shipping) each! for some reason, the 30 off 150 offer works w/ orders for under 150, i'm sure they would catch it, so i decided to just get 2 (need 2 for raid anyway)
