No. You can even get Seagate's 750GB drive in IDE.

Weird thing is, places like Best Buy and Circuit City always have way more IDE models than SATA models for sale.

That is true, because I think consumers dont buy as many SATA in stores because they dont have PC's that have SATA connections.

But yeah $139.99 shipped, as I see it now...It a decent deal.

Only if you need a rackmount too. I want the tshirt, but not the rackmount so much... 😛

Frys has a maxtor 500 on sale for 139 too. I wonder if its also a 5 year warranty cuz I'd rather just get it in store.

What's the warranty on this drive? 3yr or 5yr?

 

[apexi350z]

never mind, I found my answer. It's 5yr warranty:

Must resist. I bought one of these recently and want another one, but it's not something I need at the moment. Nice deal.

For crying out loud, I'm going to spend my tax refund check before I even get it!
