Luke Warm? Maxtor 80 gb 8mb cache Hard Drive for $49 OTD!

[big4x4]

Fry's has a maxtor 80 gtig HD for $49 out the door today. Seems like a pretty good deal if you need a hd!

In store, no rebate...I'd say it's a good deal.

Micro Center has a 80 GB Western Digital for $29, after two $30 rebates.

I'd say its HOT!!! Too bad there's no Fry's here in the South (where I live anyway).

Yep. Hot to me but I can't get one as usual. :roll:

I've got 5 of these drives from various rebate offers (Fry's, OD etc.) they usually are about $50 after rebate, so this is pretty hot - until you consider that these days you can get a drive twice that size for $60 after rebate.....

Plus, out of five of these, I've had two fail - at least the RMA process is painless, if it fails within the first year.

If these were Seagate (quiet, reliable and 5 year warranty) this would be hot, Maxtor is warm.

Hot deal, thanks for the heads up

$40 for 60Gb today: http://newspaperads.mercurynew...v=32664&ad=1243457

Did anyone pick one up? I got one but I have not opened it yet. I have not used maxtor yet. How do maxtors come to WD hd's?

Looks like this deal is back, was in Fry's a couple days ago and picked one up. Maxtor 80 GB, model number L01P080 for $49.99. I haven't installed mine yet, but a friend of mine did and it seems to be working fine. The one year warantee kinda sucks, but oh well, the regular price is $89.99 so I couldn't really pass that up.

Is it SATA???

 

[superHARD]

2mb or 8mb cache?

If 8mb it's hot if not, it isn't hot.

 

[VitaminR]

Yes to the 8mb cache, no to the SATA. Here's a link: Maxtor 80GB HD

anyone know if these are compatible with ps2's?

I'd stick it out and get a 120 or 160 for a few bucks more.
