Seagate 80GB 7200RPM - $82.65

Seagate 120GB 7200RPM - $111.83
(thanks vfrjim)

I think this is a warm deal considering the drive is super quiet (have one in my comp)
and no worry about rebates or pricematching.....7200RPM too

close to $1/gb for the 80gig
less than that for the 120gig

Shipped free ground...

 

[corinthos]

Is this the retail or oem though? In the details section it has package type as both OEM and retail..

 

[Orsorum]

Eh, I'll do with a WD 120 gig with an 8MB cache, .

 

[sohdahere]

dont know about retail or OEM
but it does say 1 year warranty...

 

[Walliser]

It is the oem, I got one last time around and am very satisfied with it.

I might get two more and rset up a raid array on my server (after another IBM DeathStar disaster, can you say *clanck....clanck....clanck*?)

I was looking for some drives in the range of 200GB each, but I like these, and I know what I am getting when buying Seagate, in my opinion still one of the more reputable HD manufacturers with history to back it up.

 

[daclayman]

This is a really nice deal - on the back of your Dell PC Software/Periffs Feb 2003, there's a $20 off $200 purchase code. You can be RAIDing for about $73 per 80gb drive

$6.45 CDRs to get ya over $200
There are cheaper items, but these ship same day

edit: no, you can't have my code

dang... think I threw that magazine away. or was that the small biz version I threw away? oh well... doesn't matter now as it is rotting in some landfill already.

but might got for the deal anyway. I do like seagate drives, very, very quiet.

 

[vfrjim]

Similar deal on the 120 GB model at Dell, $111.83 Shipped!

[Walliser]

oh... that is even better, lol.

I have to check this out once I get home. Can never have too much storage space.

 

[Cuda1447]

Just jumped on the 120 Gig deal. Great deal thx!

 

[handoverfist]

daclayman : You don't have to pay any tax? Damn I just remembered, I live in TX ... doh :|

 

[Dre]

Nice price!

So this thing runs HOT?

Would it be sufficiently cooled in a shuttle SFF?

Hrmm, am I gonna have some problems with this thing in my gateway computer? Gateway sucks!

 

[BG4533]

Under sound emission in the Tech specs the 120GB says 25db while the 80GB says 2.4db. I am guessing this has to be an error. The 120GB seems a little high and the 80GB seems way too low. Anyone know the realy sound level?

you can get the Wd Caviar 180GB 8MB cache for $165.16 after a $100 MIR from WD.link

 

[Kipper]

Don't think the WD is as silent, is it? 3 year warranty IS tempting, though...

 

[rch4001]

note the 80 g is the Barracuda iv model , but the 120 is the newer Barracuda V.

 

[BG4533]

I want to get the 120GB version to replace a IBM 60GB 60GXP before I have one fail for a 4th time in under a year. Will this drive perform at least as well and be quieter? I am hoping the loudest device in my system will be my Truepower 430.

Thanks,
Brian

The barracuda V can be had in 80gb for about $5 more.

 

[superflysocal]

i have a 80 gb barracuda IV, and it is whisper quiet. Just got a maxtor diamondmax plus 2mb 80 gb to upgrade that seagate and what a huge difference the noise on the maxtor makes....so loud. The 80 gb seagate is really that quiet. Only when the light is on is when you know the disk is accessed. I was going to return the maxtor and jump on this until you pointed out the specs they have listed. If anybody has the 120gb barracuda V please confirm how quiet or loud it is. maybe i will check seagate's website.

 

[Quino]

Who makes the Dell branded one?. It is only $77 and the specs look good. Also what about the warranty?

 

[zephyrprime]

Is the warranty only good if you have a dell?

 

[kindest]

so tempted to pick one of these up for my xbox.

Both Seagate's literature and every review I've read have indicated that the Barracuda V series is even quieter than the Barracuda IV series.
