Warm: Maxtor 20gig 5400rpm retail hard drive for $70 + tax

[daclayman]

Staples has this drive (SKU #444012) for $99.99. Add that Microsoft trial disk for .01 and use Staples coupon $30 off $100. Staples has free shipping over $50 so all you pay is $70 + tax in your state.

edit: well, boys and girls, apparently you can snag that ATA100 card for free after rebates with the purchase of this drive.

I haven't done this so your milage may vary.

512 KB Cache Buffer
< 9.5 ms average seek time

I received this:

2 MB Cache Buffer

ATA 100

It could be out of stock in dumbredneck's zip code. Seems to be in stock for me in the West LA area.

Nevermind, its out of stock here too.

i got the drive from the store...my dad found a coupon in the newspaper for $20 off $100 purchase...

is $80 for that hard drive still a good deal? i got the same specs as daclayman on the box...2MB vuffer, <9.0 seek, and ATA100...

 

[amdskip]

still a good deal. Can you order online even if out of stock?

 

[ismellsmoke]

i got mine at the staples b &amp; m store . I used A 30 off 100 coupon that I found on-line somewhere , plus I got a free stick of 32 mb 100mhz sdram pc100, try it .

 

[BadMuleS]

you should pricematch then use the coupon

 

[formulav8]

Yeps, I got the same deal as the ismellsmoke guy. Hard to beat

 

[lilstevo]

is the free ram in teh staples circular? if so im sure you can get the online staples to match the deal from the B&amp;M store.

 

[GoldenTiger]

It's back in stock. Still $99 - 30 + shipping.

 

[SimMike2]

I sent e-mail after placing the order and they said that Staples and Staples.com are different, and they would not add the 32MB SDRAM since this was specifically for the B&amp;M stores. Oh well, $70 for a brand new 20GB kit (rails and ATA66/100 cable included) with three year warranty is still a hot deal in my book.

BTW, they did mention in the e-mail that I could call the local store that was to deliver the drive and maybe arrange the 32MB SDRAM promo, but I decided my deal was good enough.

 

[jonnyjack]

can anyone tell me more about this 32MB ram promo? i bought my drive Dec. 29 and i wasn't aware of any promo...is it at the B&amp;M store only?...TIA

 

[ismellsmoke]

As far as I can tell , it's an in-store deal only . They have to use a special coupon code to give you the free memory , and then use the $30.00 off coupon code . On line , you can only use one coupon code per deal so it won't work there ..only at B&amp;M

 

[RaginCajun]

Out of stock

 

[Rosebud]

That's right. Don't forget to call about your free stick of 32 mb 100mhz sdram.

 

[Avin]

Can anyone tell me the coupon no. for getting 30$ off every purchase of more than 100$ on staples.com

Just got back from Staples B&amp;M My Maxtor 20gb 2mb/<9.0/ata100 drive for the $70.00 using a papermate refill to get to $100.00 add 5% Indiana tax (plus I'll get the 1% on my Shell MasterCard) for out the door under $75.00.
Thanks DiversDown for the link to the 30 off 100. I almost used a 20 off 100 coupon.

 

[daytonl]

Can I just give a coupon number at the b&amp;m staples to get the $30 off? ,or do I have to show someone a physical coupon of some sort?

 

[StumbleBum1]

I just ordered one Good deal $70.00 + tax

 

[mosdef]

Would there be any reason for this drive not to work with a P233? Thanks.

-mosdef

 

[SimMike2]

It's not a matter of it working with a P233, it is a question of it working with the BIOS and the mainboard you have. If possible, update your BIOS to the latest available. If the drive doesn't work correctly in your computer, you can try a software overlay fix, or you can buy something like the Promise Ultra 66 PCI controller card.

 

[DiverDown]

I don't see a reason why it shouldn't. It can run at slower speeds.

 

[RONType1]

yeah i got the 20 gig with the 2mb cache, it's ATA100 with the coupon for $50 for the ATA100 controller!!! was 70+tax
