Seagate 250 GB 7200.8 at Monarch Computer

[tamasrepus]

Monarch has Seagate 7200.8 SATA drive $115 with free shipping.

They've also the PATA version also for $90, free shipping as well.

My first deal.

They are probably so cheap because the new 7200.9s are out (which IMHO don't offer much). Was just going to get these for $120 off ewiz--with the money I just saved, I can get another drive. Can we say 5-drive RAID5?

Edit: Updated SATA drive price ($109)
Edit: Updated prices: SATA $115, PATA $90

damn that 250 SATA is tempting.

 

[Cheezeit]

damnit, I bought a jumped on the SATA 320g WD already.
I would have liked 2 more years warrenty, but the WD is a better performer, cooler, and quiet.
oh well

I just got a 160 gb sata 7200.7 for 89.99 free shipping! Darn it! Oh well its not like I really need a 250gb HD. Nice find.

WD is also better at sex, and making me sandwiches.

Great deals!

 

[Bad Dude]

The SATA 250GB is now $109.

Excellent drive, and the 5 year warranty is nice. I bought mine from ZipZoomFly a week ago for $129. I think I'll pick up another one and save $20 .

 

[SignalSoldier]

are these as quiet as the regular ide seagates?? If so i may bite i need to upgrade to sata anyways

 

[smartsam]

Does Monarch have any kind of price guarantee?
I just bought this the other day for $118.

 

[KristopherKubicki]

Not a bad deal. Price keeps changing though. TD has a MIR, if thats your thing:

Great price! I might get one soon

 

[duragezic]

Wow, nice!! Still showing $102 for the PATA. Awesome price, I hear Seagates are good, and 5/5 yr warranty??!! Might have to pick this and that cheap as hell NEC 3540 if they are still cheap in the next few days.

 

[BigJ]

Very nice price on a very nice drive, with a KILLER warranty. I only buy Seagates now because of their 5 year warranty.

 

[frx218]

I got my 300 GB pata for 119$ shiped no rebates from frys, this isnt a bad deal though

 

[rustyjeep]

Is this drive (pata) as good / better than this Deskstar:

I'm torn between the two. I am tempted by the seagate due to it's warenty though.

 

[SynthDude2001]

Very nice...I paid $134 for this exact drive (the SATA one) about 2-3 weeks ago.

 

[Kipper]

Seagate + Warranty > *

I set up a 300GBx4 RAID1 array the other day.

Provided none of the drives fail at the same time, my friend is essentially covered for five years, no problems.

 

[Nimloth]

so tempting...

either I sort/burn all my pirated stuff to DVD or get this and put off the major cleanup/reinstall again

decisions..

 

[Localan]

Still here? Okay, okay, I am in for one I guess. Now will you quit "saving" me money?

I think Seagate makes the best drives as well. WD and Maxtor's quality has gone south these days. Not to mention their their warranty is less than Seagate
