I could not wait and got the Maxtor deal on July 4 with free shipping.

Shipping for me is $7.16 (east coast)

this is 7200.9, as opposed to the Maxtor's 7200.10. I would take .10 over .9, even with a shorter warranty.

 

[superHARD]

not a bad deal...if the other is dead.

 

[BDawg]

So, you're saying the Maxtor deal is better because you end up with a .10, but a shorter warranty?

Anandtech Review - You can compare the .9 vs .10

 

[uhohs]

there's a decent chance of getting a 7200.10 drive in the box.

It's showing up as $159.99 now?

Seems the deal is now dead, as the drive isn't even showing up on their website. Bummer, since I didn't have time this morning, when I checked this week's sale, to get a couple of them!

The Maxtor 500GB is showing up in the sale now (don't remember if it was there this morning), for $89.99, free shipping, here. Personally, I'd wait a few days, as Frys oftentimes gets more in stock later on in the week, and will put it back up for sale.

How's that Maxtor, real good deal for price/performance ratio? What about reliability?
