300GB Seagate for $90 @ Fry's

[lordsmurf]

For those with a Fry's Electronics nearby, they're doing the 300GB Seagate 16MB cache 7200rpm (PATA/IDE) for $90 deal again, no rebates. They have deals on a few other Seagate drives too, including externals.

Great deal!

I'm trying to control my wallet. Everytime Outpost (Fry's) sends me
an email they have a good deal on a hard drive, and I usually
buy it!

By the way, after you check-out look at the onscreen invoice
to make sure you actually got free shipping (if it says Free Shipping).

Thanx for the heads-up on that. The print ad here (Sunday paper) sez it's a SATA, tho' . . . .

[Wile_E]

Good deal but would be better if SATA. (I'm trying to convert all drives to SATA without adapters.) I missed the previous deal they had with Seagate 400GB SATA for $99.

NewEgg has Seagate 320GB (perpendicular recording) SATA II or IDE drives for $95.
or
Western Digital 320GB SATA II for $90 after $10 rebate.

Just that the pretty cables and the convoluted instruction booklets aren't included.

I have two drives now so I have no more space on my mobo for another hookup. How could I add another drive and how much more would that cost?

[free is better]

get a pci card to add either pata or sata drives or use usb 2.0 external enclosures for additional storage or a combination of both.

i got lucky last week..Best Buy had a misprint, 500GB SATA 2 3gig/sec, 16mg cache, onsale for $159 out the door--NO REBATES.....of course all the local stores showed them in stock Sat night, the ad was for Sunday and they all vanished---i made them give me a raincheck for four of them, and they actually came thru------a Western Digital Retail Box WD5000SKRTL @ $159.99 each and now in my possesion and in use, two for RAID 0, the other two for storeage and editing....

How much would either of those options be approx?

If you want those drives to last, use them as intended, IDE/PATA connections. RAID 0 will kill the drives in a year or two. RAID 0 is not suggested, and quite honestly, not needed.

Find yourself a Promise TX2 UltraATA/133 card. That should run about $50-100 or so. Use it for any hard drives or DVD-ROMs (not burners!).

I use 2 of these PCI CONTROLLER cards for my hard drives which only cost $14.99:

Fry's is a dangerous place to be in: you always end up buying something or spending more than you intended to.

Every now and then they have Seagate 400GBs with 16MB cache for ~$100 - $110, Better price per /mb if you're willing to wait. I picked up a couple a month or so back at $110 and they've since been on for $100.

The other day they had the Seagate 400gig pata for $99 with free shipping outpost.com. I purchased the 300 gig Sata2 drive in store a couple of days ago for $89.99.

Here is a cool page that posts the frys deals online:

This makes my Maxtor 250gb 7200 16mb deal at newegg a few years ago for $105 look even greater. Of course, I got a 5 year warranty...

[dun4cheap]

Now see, I stopped buying maxtor for over a year because the quality went down the toilet. I have not bought one since Seagate bought them out because the warranty that comes with the seagate is 3 or 5 years depnding on the model where most maxtors are 1 year now.

all of the drives are SATA 2 Drives????????? and what sucks is the MOBO has 3 IDE channels, and only one supports optical devices!!!!
