Hey, I am looking to buy a few harddrives, and the one I want is cheapest at a place called UpgradePlanetShop. it's a small website, but the prices are great. I was wondering if anyone has ordered from them before. If you have had any good/bad experiences with them I would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!

I'm not too sure I'd buy anything from them without doing a lot of looking around for reviews. For some reason, they don't have a domain name... What are they, $10 a year now?

The bargain site you talk about had the Maxtor 40gig 7200spin for $130,if you follow the post from this forum, it appears to be the same harddrive for $110 from Staples, but the one from Staples includes the ATA/100 card (thanks AK for this post) here is AK's post, http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=22212

According to pricegrabber.com which gets its ratings from Gomez.com:
http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?masterid=278325&search=Deskstar%2075GXP&ut=188098ed84acc92a

They are currently unrated, but here is the info on the
vendor:

I would use at your own risk and maybe use an American Express Blue to guarantee your transactions-extend your warranty and give a little price protection. I would even use their temp. Credit card# for added security.
