I got mine today as well. About to open it up...I wanted a 7200.9, but oh well, this drive still kicks ass.

Nah, wasn't yelling that much, just, ahem, correcting the lies that they fed you. 😉
 
BTW, as an indication of how hot a deal this is, cheapest 300GB HDD of any brand/type on Newegg is $110 plus shipping, so $90 shipped is HOT HOT HOT!!! Too bad it is EIDE. I'm starting to think about deals on SATA... but they're rare.

Is it just me or whenever you click on that link, it redirects to the index page?

I can just barely catch something about no longer available before it redirects. Guess I missed this one, though I don't really need another drive being that I have a 300GB and 400GB Seagate drives still sealed and collecting dust. 😱

Guess the deal is dead. it was working about 2 hours ago.

Last week's deal at Outpost was HOTTER....250 GB Seagate PATA 7200.8 with 16MB cache for $50 AR and FREE shipping. That's 20 cent per GB!

Rebate. I am willing to spend $40 more and get 50 more GB and not have to bother with a rebate.

Thats just my opinion though.

Hmmm, I must have missed that deal. I would have gone for it "just because." 😱
 
3 hour sale...taking lessons from Monarch. The 250GB drive has two platters. 300 unit comes with three. In theory, the 250 should run cooler and quieter.
 
For those like myself that got in on the drive there is a $50.00 REbate available. ( Credit goes to FW for this.)
