Maxtor 250GB HD $70 - no rebates!

OMG, glad I saw this thread!!! Got the last two in my area. Thanks to the OP. Shows up for $69.50 as a clearance item.
 
Meh. Tempting but after having a 160GB maxtor die on me 4 months ago and the "refurb" warranty replacement starting to act the same way (major drive noise, "grinding" practically) as the dead drive I don't have much interest in buying another maxtor for awhile.
 
i use to buy almost exclusively maxtor drives since they were usually the cheapest.
i've had 4 maxtor's fail on me in the past year. 🙂
i'm going seagate now, don't know if they're much more reliable, but 5yr warranty vs. 1... 🙂
 
Got my two drives.

GOOD: One of the drives was a 16MB cache model.

BAD: The two drives were in a large Staples branded box with absolutely NO padding. Zero. Zip. Nada. It was delivered by a Staples driver, not by UPS/FedEx, so they may or may not have taken care to not toss it around. I'll find out soon if the drives are fine.

edit... I had ordered these online.
 
drive prices seem to be getting less
outpost has the seagate 200g for $119 or 300g for $169 w/ no rebate (plus shipping)
also has seagate 160 for $69 w/ rebate + shipping (and sata for same)
and the seagate 80g for $19 w/ rebate + shipping

cool. has anyone had luck with seagate rebates?
 
Yes, but they take forever. My last Seagate rebate took about five months, the longest I've ever had to wait for any rebate.

Thats nothing. I've had a rebate check show up 5 years later. A 16X CD burner.

I recently had a rebate show up for a Logitech Dual Optical Mouse I purchased in 2001!! They don't even make them anymore, infact they were discontinued in 2002. Took 4 years exactly (purchased in June 2001...)

Wish I could go back to then and buy more, they're tough to find and excellent comfy mice.
