250gb 7200rpm western digital hard drives

$124.99 after rebate @ Outpost

250gb HDDs have been $99 AR or less in the last few weeks...I wouldn't pay anything more than $75 or so for them.

Just my $0.02 worth.

hey hotstuff, if u dont like his price pm it to him, cause that reply was plain out rude..

goodluck bump

Wasn't tying to be rude, just showing that eBay isn't the only option and stating the facts.

read the forum rules first....stop thread crapping

u are correct, i would jump on this but im broke now, good luck,,

for someone building a comp, there pretty sweet. I can see why you got em wish I knew how to build a comp *laugh* hope you sell em man and don't let em go for anything less than what your asking.

i rather wait for good deals after rebates. the 200gb WD drive is going for $50 after rebates at officemax.

i would totally buy it if i didn't hate WD so badly though.

eh sorry i forgot to mention that it's on black friday.

i don't mean to threadcrap, but 160gb-200gb hard drives can go for as low as $50-$60 after rebates. of course, you gottak now the source where to buy that from. personally, i <3 the seagate 160gb i got for $50 after rebates.

if WD were to sell for a cheap price, i guess i'd buy it... but i have a semi-horror story with this company and their RMA refurbished drives. they also run hotter... and they're pretty loud too.

I know the refurb game all too well.. *cough*... yes.. *cou..u..g..* indeed I do... *co. u... ggg..hhh...ar...ggg..*

... ... ... oh?! what? hey, eh, yes?! sorry lol.. lost myself for a moment there.. had a sudden fit of coughing

yeah 200gb drives is the cutoff, for whatever reason the 250gb ones are quite a bit more expensive than 200gb ones. don't get me wrong though, im not advising people not to buy from you klpps. $110 is not a bad price for a 250gb drive. i just wouldn't buy it (since i know how to bargain shop.. i bet a lot of people here do too... this is probably the wrong outlet for you to sell your parts)

the black friday deal is an unofficial deal, but the sources are very accurate each other. you'll just have to wait and find out come the friday after thanksgiving

oh and im also curious...the external hard drives come with usb 2.0 AND firewire right?

i read the forum rules.. i didn't see anything about "threadcrapping." hotstuff2 wasn't threadcrapping either. threadcrapping is saying something like "your deal sucks, youre asking too much and im not going to post any information that is going to help this thread." instead, hotstuff2 linked a "better" deal for the same drive. although it's not helping the OP, it IS helping the buyer.

and klpps, i don't mean to be rude, but i've learned something in the past month: that it's hard to sell on these tech forums, since us computer nerds know where to get products beyond lower than retail prices. i've tried to sell my computer and no one even cared - you'd have to find a better market than notebookforums. i, for example, went to some gamers forums and posted "fs: my desktop" and have gotten many more responses (because these gamers aren't tech computer nerds.. they just now how to play the game)

firewire is faster, and also uses less CPU overhead. it's the newer technology, but it's not as universal as usb...

personally im gonna use my new enclosure with firewire.. and then my dvd burner will be usb 2.0

usb 2.0 is pretty fast though, i transferred about 1.4gb in about 1 minute to my notebook hd. very nice.

he's actually right

USB 2.0 is 480 mb, but that's a burst transfer rate

Firewire is 400 mb, but that's a sustained transfer rate. If you compare the speed of two drives, one using firewire and one using USB 2.0 enclosures, the firewire will have less CPU overhead and a higher sustained transfer rate, which is more important than burst.
