Hot Deal. But when I jumped on the deal when they had it last October it took them 12 weeks to get me a cheque so YMMV.

I'm posting my warning that I always do with Outpost/Fry's and Seagate drive rebates:
They once made a mistake on a rebate and wouldn't give it to me (they offered $20 off when it was a $50 rebate). I consider that false advertizing because I actually PAID for it and was only told after the fact that the rebate was a mistake.

Another time a $50 rebate I sent in was "lost in the mail, apparently."

Soo Temping ....

already mentioned here
i went for the 300gb $119 after rebate shipped free - cost/gb is more, but I have too many hard drives already - so the the extra 9c/gb is worth it.

The rebates do come - eventually. I waited 5 months (with several calls) for my $59 a/r 200gb seagate ordered last Sep, but the rebates since then have been coming (albiet slowly) w/o too much hassle.

It's more like $65 after taxes and shipping. I wish Outpost didn't charge so much for shipping...

I should get another one and then raiod it with the one I bought on the earlier deal. It comes to ~$55 shipped for me.

 

[JacKaL2004]

they didnt charge me that much for shipping.......but then again, it's relative to where you live...

all in all, this drive is very quite and the 5 year warranty just adds to it. only downside is that, it's ATA 100, i wish it was ATA 133.
