There's an instore only $10 off $50 coupon out there now for even greater savings, and there's also a $30 off $150 coupon for online/phone/instore purchases too...

One negative...only 1 year warranty...

This is my first time to start a thread...hope people think this is a good deal. Sorry if it's a repost...couldn't find it listed anywhere else.

Just new to forum. I'm a Computer Tech. I use to buy WD's all the time. But since Seagate switch to 5 year warranty, I only use thier drives now. Beats the hell out of 1 year and $15 upgrade to 3 years. When you can get a drive for around the same price, that are great drives and be covered for 5 years. It's hard to beat that.

Seagates have treated me a million times better than any WD drive has.

Seagate's warranty really does make it hard to beat. WD shot themselves in the foot with this 1-year and upgrade crap. I had at least 10 WD drives in use when they made the warranty change announcement, and my next drive purchases were Seagates.

Also, ask for the "Additional 1-year warranty." Somehow, it gives you an instant $20 discount on the 320GB and only costs $11.99.
$99.99 - $20.00 + $11.99 = $91.98 + tax

Only catch is you have to register or activate the additional warranty online, and it pays for the cost of the product fi they can't replace it.

I just went for your link to the NE Seagate...got two.
I recommend that we promote you to Senior so that you do not get harassed.

Today, simply on the strength of the Seagate warrantee, I look for the Seagates in the H/D mix.
Truth is, I would never return a drive I had used for any reason. It would be like going to the gay bar with your fly open. In other words, inviting disaster.
It's the same reason I cross-shred all mail with my name or address on it and double fire-wall the WAN.

Yep. I didn't even ask, I just got a disgruntled employee who tried to pitch the warranty. Told him I wasn't interested, then he told me it only cost $11.99 and gave a promo discount of $20.

The price of the warranty was for items between $50-$99.99, so it only cost $11.99. Again, I may have gotten a heavily-disgruntled employee and an unwarranted discount :)

- I'm a WD fan, but that is an awesome deal. Who cares if he has 2 posts, everyone has had 2 posts before. You don't have to be a fan to see an awesome deal.

A lot of tech companies have paid employees giving out advice inside of these forums. nVIDIA is one confirmed case. I am skeptical, because it's often biased and bad advice given. It can harm a true novice user and it's not fair or honest.

I don't see how that really applies here. He pointed to a very good deal, paid or not. It's not like he's trying to get us all to sign up for a free ipod.

This might be a good deal, but I am holding off on buying any new HDD's untill one of two things: Perpendicular HDD's can be found in large capacity (500GB-ish) for around $120-ish or Next generation Perpendicular HDD's break the minumum transfer rate of 100MB/s in 7200 or 10000 RPM.

Believe me I have Seagate, WD, Maxtor, Quantum, IBM, Hitachi, Samsung, Toshiba, and Fujitsu drives all currently in operation. To me, the five year warranty is a plus as the Seagate drives I have just operate better, less heat, and have yet to fail once. I don't think you should have to pay for an additional warranty from a manufacturer. That just tells you that they don't have much faith in their own products.
