Nice deal too bad it's an ata133 drive and not a sata drive.

Thought it was a SATA drive?

"Data Transfer Rate ATA/133"


"Also includes a free Ultra ATA/133 and SATA/150 PCI combo card in the box."

Don't think so. Still a good deal I was just hoping for a 160 gig sata to go with the one I have now.

Edit I'm wrong it is a sata drive. I missed that the first time.
Edit#2 guess I was right after all ?

 

[PinchyCM]

if the xfer rate is ata133, how is it a ata133 drive?

 

[WilhelmII]

The Staples site says that it is a SATA drive, but the Maxtor site lists the L03P160 kit as a ATA133 drive.

 

[Mermaidman]

Why would they combine a PATA drive with a SATA card?!

 

[Freewolf]

It's a combo card, both pata and sata.

I dunno..

"Also includes a free Ultra ATA/133 and SATA/150 PCI combo card in the box."

maybe the card has SATA as well as PATA connects/ports ..

So it's just an evil plot to "encourage" you to buy a SATA drive separately

You can read on the box that it is ATA/133. Middle line of the sticker on the bottom right. Tricky Maxtor...

I guess it's still a good deal though, especially if the card is any good. And if you use the coupon.

 

[Nick5324]

Drive is now listed as $99.94. There is a coupon code out there to take $30 off.

 

[FiLeZz]

Made it $74 to my door.

Now thats a good price.. The $30 coupon made it a deal.

 

[Fuboy]

OOS!!!!!

 

[deldd]

I just brought it a few minutes ago. I guess it depends on your zip. $69.94 is a great deal for a retail kit.

 

[Ninjazx]

wheres the coupon code?!?!
