- Doesn't appear to be the best company, but also doesn't raise any big red flags.

It is cool to see that the RR date back to 2000 for that store, means they have been in business for quite some time.

Yeah, doesn't seem too shady, but I just thought I'd give a heads up.

I'd say if you can call and get someone on the phone quick, or if you e-mail and get a quick response, you're probably safe ordering from them.

This is 7200.9.
Nothing wrong with that! But, there is a newer series, 7200.10 (perpendicular recording).

 

[Ronin]

Good deal, but sans perpendicular, you gotta wait for the 7200.10's to come down.

Shipping is $15 for one drive to Michigan....

Edit -- it appears to be $15 for 2 drives as well...

 

[Mr Bob]

The .10 is also much more expensive than the .9... either way, still a good deal on a high capacity drive.

 

[howjan]

Ordered 3 and it was 15 bucks shipping.

Thanks OP, building a new linux box...this saved me a few bucks.

 

[btcomm1]

I checked out the reviews for this drive on newegg.com, there are a lot of happy people but it seems like a fair amount of negative reviews as well. Then again is there any high capacity drives out there that don't have a bunch of reviews saying they fail soon after receiving them? Also I guess newegg.com purchases these particular drives at an auction and they do not have the 5 year warranty on them, makes me wonder if this company does the same thing or if you really do get the 5 year warranty with them.

Does anyone know if there are jumper settings that will set it to 1.5? I know they usually do but is this drive compatible with older motherboards?

 

[Spike]

This is tempting but my 500GB 7200.10 just died after 1 month of use so I am slightly weary of seagate at the moment. But since this is the 7200.9... And BTW, I bought the 7200.10 for $139 from newegg last month so they are coming down though like I said, I am weary of them

I live a few miles away, I might go by on Monday

 

[Spike]

Double, sorry

 

[DaveSimmons]

They've been in business forever. We used to buy PCs from them at my old employer, from around 1996-1999.

I haven't shopped there since then since the prices and selection are usually not great compared to Newegg.

 

[StayPuff]

Bump -- anyone gotten their drives yet?

 

[superHARD]

159.99 now

 

[rip]

hmph, $159.99

heh -- figures... :disgust:

 

[uhohs]

did anyone receive their drives? it's $99 now. :Q

 

[howjan]

I got a call two days after I placed the order saying they were out and would not be getting more in.

 

[jagec]

I gave them a call, and they were out, but they had the 500GB 7200.10's in stock for $150. Newegg's about the same, but since I live in the area, that's not a bad price to buy the drive today. I'm going for it.
