AFAIK, the 250GB one is a 1 platter design, and is based on 7200.11 tech. It has very good sustained transfer rates. Well worth the $70 for speed.



Forgot to say that the 320GB deal isn't that bad either.

Newegg has 320gb drives going for the same price...

Newegg clearly lists the 250gb as 7200.10, but some do report is actually (half) a 7200.11 - odd

Deal is warm. Basically same price as buying an OEM Hitachi drive from Newegg, but with a free SATA cable and power adaptor. These drives were available really briefly a while back at $59.99 with free shipping. All the retail boxed Maxtor drives I've gotten with the recent 3 year warranty have all been rebadged Seagate 7200.10 drives. The last Maxtor retail boxed drive I got with a 1 year warranty had a MaxLine Pro in it (still with a 1 year warranty instead of 5 year).

Yeah, I have not seen them that cheap in a long time.

Deal is a little better for those few of us that have to pay tax at the Egg, but not at Fry's.

I don't have to pay tax at either.

I have to pay tax at both =(

Bump for price drop.

If it had free shipping as well, I'd get a couple more spare drives. Wait, I think I already have about 10 new drives in the garage...

Outpost is pretty good at stacking shipping rates cheaply if you get a bunch of items.

damn I just got 2. damn you op!!!

Thanks.

Yup, I paid $8.03 shipping for 4 drives, so my total cost per drive was $62.

:thumbsup:

I think I paid around $14 shipping for an Ultra Microfly case, an Antec Solo case (pretty heavy) and SIX hard drives from Outpost. Newegg wants $16 shipping for the Antec case by itself.

Just called and the in-store price is $10 more. So much for saving on s/h.

Do you have a link...I look at the egg and cannot find a similar deal.

 

[bamacre]

Got four of the drives in, they are in fact 7200.10 drives as pictured in the OP.

is this the best deal on a HD right now?

I think so. For this capacity at least.

 

[Bad Dude]

I am still waiting for the free shipping. Save me $7.

Buy 4 and Ebay 3 of them.

Fry's B&M has your choice of the same SATA drive or the PATA version for $10 more ($69.99), but you'll save the shipping. It may be a better deal for you if you're close to a Fry's B&M, just because you'll have it right away, and returns are easier if necessary.

SATA SKU: 4987891

PATA SKU: 4987821
