Maxtor Maxline III 300GB HDD OEM for $132.98

[Gooberlx2]

$129.00 (after $5 "instant savings") + $2.99 Fedex shipping

Didn't see it posted here (found it on bensbargains, and the other thread was about a Diamondmax10) but Newegg has the Maxtor Maxline III 300GB SATA 150 w/ 16MB cache + NCQ and 5 year warranty for $130 now.

Good deal for a data/backup drive if you ask me....even if it's Maxtor.

Note: the Maxline III is an enterprise line for Maxtor, so I would imagine it should have better quality control/reliability, hence the better warranty.

Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me...i wouldn't use this for a data/backup drive it would be my main drive though 🙂.

updated the OP with this (after a little research and reading reviews):

I guess if they sort this out as a server drive and give 5 year of warranty, this gotta be quite reliable.

Dumbass me forgot that OEM = no cables. Doh, I'll have see if a local shop has some.

hmmm...better look in my case to see if I need splitters or molex power adapters too...

Can I just format this drive with Windows or should I download a proprietary Maxtor formatting program?

Thanks,

Thanx in for one. That floppy but me over the top. I had to buy it. I`m not kiding either. 😀 Sucks you pay for shipping on it. Btw guys change the shipping to UPS 3day for the same price as fedex. Woo Hooo!
