You can get it for $60 AR.


$88 without rebate is about $30 more than the price with the rebate


Thus, to avoid the rebate, you have to pay about a $30 premium on the drive.

The Samsung 160GB gives you one of the best $/GB along with good performance and a three warranty. The price is pretty good for this drive considering zipzoomfly has it for 94$ with free 2nd day. With Newegg, its 89$ with ground shipping. It may not be a hot deal, but it's not a bad deal.

I've had too many Samsungs fail lately. I also bought one of their "Quiet" technology drives and it wined like the bearings were flying apart.

Guess you have bad luck with them. I have had nothing but positive experience.

Neither did I.

I'd perfer a 8mb buffer myself, but this might make a good backup/secondary drive.

The spinpoints are some of, if not the quietest drives you can purchase right now in a 3.5" ff. Read up at silentpcreview

Really? It's been a while since I've seen the Maxtor Ultra Retail 160GB go on sale at my local Fry's...here's hoping you're right since I missed out on the Staples deal.
