Seagate 1TB SATA 3Gb/s for $102...good deal?

[cwinters]

I'm looking to get more storage space for my files and I found this Seagate 1TB SATA 3gb/s for only $102.

Is this a good deal? I don't seem to be able to find a better price anywhere else.

Also, has anyone dealt with them? I don't feel like getting screwed by an online retailer.

Thanks for any help.

Far cheaper on ebay via cashback. Can get it around $75ish or so.

Also never heard of that company before either, which is generally a mark against the deal.

$102 isnt anything special.

Personally, i would avoid buying electronics off ebay regardless of price/cashback. Case in point, recently purchased a extneral hd case from ebay.. the power supply and fan both arrived dead even though it was listed as new, now i have fight to get a refund.. not worth the hassle to deal with ebay ever again. Newegg has the same drive for $99.99. You won't get screwed. Just because its "cheap" at ebay, doesn't mean it's a good deal.

Well, yeah you buy from reputable people....and make sure it has a warranty. You just have to pick the right places to buy from.

I just bought a WD 640gb black off the buy.com seller on ebay. After cashback, it will be around $60ish and it arrived in 1 day and has 5 year warranty....

I generally dont buy much off ebay myself either though. Its fairly easy for a hard drive though cause you can check the warranty... id probably never buy a case on ebay unless its through a retailer seller or something.

You can get that same drive for $85 after Cashback from Tiger Direct...add something cheap to get $1.99 shipping.

Hmmmm, joined today, post 1 a link to an unknown site, avatar, not really a hot deal. Hmmmm.

In case I'm being too cynical:
No, newegg.com is a better place to buy, they have several 1 TB drives under $100 including the 5400RPM Spinpoint that will run a little cooler and quieter, perfect for storage.

cheaper at the Egg....free shipping too...

Nice icon/post count though .

Yeah, interesting how some people can't manage to find an item cheaper at newegg but manage to find it at some site nobody has ever heard of - not that I'm cynical either.
And I refuse to buy from any site that won't tell me how much shipping is until AFTER I give them all my information. Just isn't going to happen.

tigerdirect has t 1.5 TB with cashback for like $104 shipped

Your store sucks. <--- this is threadcrapping.

BTW, did anyone else click "Contact Us"?
Funny that they want you to fill out a bunch of information and let them contact you at their own choosing...

No telephone numbers? Contact by email only? :roll:
Even a Nigerian scammer's website is better than this crap. <-- and so is this.

Not allowed. Don't do it.

Maybe you need to search before you open up your mouth.

Maybe, but did you look at the details? Exactly 2 "customer" reviews, both in November 2008. Hmmmmm.
