Ya, this is for frys, not outpost...

Oh yee of little faith....Outpost FTW!

😱 guess I was a little late on the post...

Ya, ealier it was showing up as a different price for me on outpost($189). Also, I work right next to a frys so outpost is only a waste of time, I have to pay the tax anyway so i might as well pick it up instead of waiting for shipping. 😛

Can someone give me a brief blurb on the difference between 7200.9 and 7200.10

Difference between 9 and 10 is perpendicular drive geometry (in other words, the magnetic spots on the disk are oriented with the north/south poles so that they are perpendicular to the plane of the disk surface. In 9 series, the are parrellel to the surface. A perpendicular setup will allow more bits of information closer to each other then a parrellel setup because it takes more room to fit a "_" then a "." if you convert the symbols "_" and "." into the top down view of the magnetic field structures of the bits of information).

As a result of the changes there is some speed boost to the 10 series, but you are not going to find them for $.30 a gig for a while.

Oh, back in stock again. I just ordered.

Just got back from Fry's in SoCal....they had them in stock AND they let me exchange the opn boxed Maxtor from three days ago.

There's a pallet full still at Sac Frys

$97.41 after tax = 32.5 cents per gb.
$18 rebate makes it 26.5 cents per gb.
Last night I bought one and there are still 100's more at the Sunnyvale Fry's.
They squeeze the life out of those boxes with their plastic bands. But I would have bought the drive OEM if I could anyways, but the extra cables I don't need are nice to have though.

Just to clarify for people from someone who is holding it:
ST3300622AS
7200.9 (no molex power D plug)
16MB/s

Does the 10% rebate come in the HardDrive box?

Thanks for the nice explaination. It seems .10 drive can last more as physical movment of the head is less.

cant be 7200.10 , they dont make a 300 gig of that

 

[hans007]

the 7200.10 with 25 dvd+rs at newwegg is probably a slightly better deal.

its a 2 platter design 160x2 while this is a 3 x 100gb design.
