I need a 40GB+ Hard drive, 5400rpm or 7200rpm is ok...for a 40GB, staples has a 7200rpm for $220 but i cant find any coupons, theres a 60GB 5400rpm @ buy.com for $230 after coupon but theyre out of stock...any suggestions for hard drives in this range? (For 1 HD not like 2 20's)

I bought the 45 gig HD from buy.com ... it has a $30 rebate from WD until sept 1 I think... I got the form from my local fry's electronics!

here's the western digital rebate, $30 off
http://www.westerndigital.com/promos/30-reb4.html

BUT the one it applies to, <a href="http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10250662&loc=474" target=BLANK>the retail one</a>,is out of stock at buy.com, or perorder, (it says both depending on where you look).

The <a href="http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10246722&loc=474" target=BLANK>non retail</a> (??) is still in stock, but the $30 rebate is not valid (must be WD450AARTL) not WD450AA.

which one did you buy, stupidzbu?

~~stupidzbu~~ · 08-22-2000, 05:39 PM

I bought the retail package.. not the OEM.. but I think it might be the WD450AA.. not sure.. I would have to pop it out to check.. i'll post later to see which one it is.. but I do know it was retail... came in a box

There's a big difference between 7200 and 5400. LIke 32% Kinda a big difference with that big drive.

none of em are OEM, but the retail ones end with the RTL. if it doesnt end in that you can get the rebate. sucks. i was gonna order it too...

~~stupidzbu~~ · 08-22-2000, 08:56 PM

well... I know I can get the rebate, because the box had a $30 rebate sticker on it.....

So i'm cool...
