300 GB Hard Drives for $89.99 at Fry's (500 GBs for $190)

[freedom_fries_for_me]

Difference is ATA or SATA.

EDIT: FREE SHIPPING ON BOTH ITEMS. LIMIT ONE PER HOUSEHOLD FOR THE ATA DRIVE. THEY ALSO CHARGE SALES TAX FOR AZ, CA, GA, OH, TX, NV, WA, IL, IN. I HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW MUCH THE DRIVES COST AFTER TAXES. REPORTEDLY(valleyvampiress), CA ORDERS COME OUT TO $97.19. AND CHANGE SHIPPING TO GROUND SHIPPING BEFORE CLICKING SUBMIT. THEY TRY TO SNEAK 2ND DAY SHIPPING RIGHT BEFORE YOU ORDER.

How much is it with ship and tax?

 

[valleyvampiress]

Woops, nm. It says "Ships Free".

Total came out to $97.19 with CA tax. Make sure you change the shipping to Ground Shipping before clicking submit. They try to sneak in a 2nd Day Shipping right before you order.

I bought the same HD at CompUSA for $149.99 before $60 rebate, ran a few other errrands at the same shopping center, then came back with the Fry's ad, acted nice and mildly dumb and BOOM walked out with the price match... a 300GB HD for $29.99 after rebate? Yezzir

Extreme YMMV but worth a shot especially if you want the hard drive anyway

 

[Koggit]

Sexy. I work at Staples, so I printed to page to pricematch tomorrow. 12% associate discount, $30 reward check, and I can probably swing a 110% match instead of 100% (as it's supposed to be when matching sale items)... should be $48+tax out the door.

Do nerds really need this much storage for their porn?
Seriously though that's a lot of space for little $

 

[Ma12kez]

Wow, I'll have to look into this. Are they the same, or is one better than the other?

I have a 160G and 300G in my PC right now, and believe it or not, I'm running out of space. I have all my apps and docs on my master (160) and my media files on my slave (300). I was actually looking for this exact model to add to my system and was about to go to Fry's tomorrow so the timing was perfect.

Total space after sale: 760Gigs (wow, that's almost a terabyte!)

 

[Koggit]

The SATA is up to $140. PATA is still $90 though.

I just realized their 500GB SATAII is only $190. I'm definitely going for that instead. http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4551377

i dunno about the ata drive, but you can probably get a sata cheaper at tigerdirect, like this one:

Umm, that's $114.99.

Just for future reference, is there CA tax and/or ship charges?

 

[freedom_fries_for_me]

Edited.

 

[valleyvampiress]

Got my HD in a few days ago. Thanks freedom_fries.

Only deal left is 500g's for 189.99.

 

[shady859]

WOW 500gb!

I remember my first computer having a HUGE 2gb hard drive! I've currently got 2 120s and a 80 in my pc so one of these would be LOVELY but I don't have the extra cash to spare for something I really don't need.

 

[valleyvampiress]

It was just 4 years ago when I had my awesome 4GB computer. The only thing I could fit on there was Windows. Today with all the patches, I don't think my lil' 4gig would have made it.
