i guess just for a few days. yeah it's just the "green" drive and not the "black" drive but whatever. awesome for storing shit. I'll probably pick up two.

DEAL ENDS TOMORROW 12th

^ not to shit on your thread but before and during christmas, NCIX had these for 100-109 each for their weekly sale.

right now its 109.99 + tax.

Where is it $109.99? It's $150 at NCIX right now, and $114.99 at Newegg.ca

Still a good deal IMO. Not a "OMFG" deal, but worth it if you are looking for a new HDD.

damn, my 500gb is 99% full...very tempting, but it's $940hk ($127cdn) here :(

i forgot to write before/during christmas. prices generally went up 3-5% after christmss.

112.99 at ncix (should be weekly sale price)
it was 99.99 on boxing day as a door crasher.
i picked up two 1.5gbs two weeks before christmas at 108.99 each.

edit:
109.99 is on the dell website (referring to the title)

I just upgraded to a 2TB Barracuda XT for my Windows drive, and a pair of 1GB 7200.12's for my storage partition (RAID1).

It's funny because my Windows drive never gets more than 100GB stored on it... Well at least it's fast! ;)

off topic but when are the HDD taht support sata 6.0Gb/s coming out? I'm assuming they're compatible with the current SATA mobo as well?

Yes, it's the drive that I just referred to (Barracuda XT).

I will be publishing a review this week or next week.

Short story: SATA 6G is almost completely useless today.

there's another one here that's 3 bucks more but no wait time.

bah im starting to realise this isnt that great of a deal, but I'm 99% full as well! shit!

I must be the only one going down on size.. 500gb -> 160gb. :p
but it sure is fast and silent.

what do you guys do with a 2T windows drive?

I only have a 160gb primary HD and 500gb HD for storage.

^^^
Media Server. Music and Movies and Mame ROMs.

The 1.5TB drives always go on sale. It's a smoking deal if it goes under $100 though. I picked up 2x2TB hitachi's for $128 after rebate at NCIX.

Holy crap!

I snatched up my 1TB for $89.99 at NCIX a couple months ago. 100 bucks is tempting though..

shieeeeet

I JUSSSSSSSST bought mine last week for $120

Oh well.... good deal

Damn that's crazzzzy

I was looking at the 2TB's and they were all so expensive.

partition it? following that unproven urban myth (or i haven't seen any proof, but it makes sense) by wiping and creating a first partition of say < 200GB for the OS it'll be placed on the outer edge of the platter meaning faster seek times, etc. then just fill the rest with shit all.

haha. Thing is they're still sitting boxed up in an NCIX bag on the floor. Lazy to install.

I got this HDD from ncix couple months back for $99
and I know the lowest it has gone to was black Friday for $89.
So this isn't really amazing if you check ncix deals regularly.

I actually just tested that theory recently. It actually works, a bit. Mostly BS though.

Fact is, I only need about 100GB on my Windows drive, and I am not about to store my important data on a single drive. I'll just use the spare space for a 2nd redundancy to my storage drives with a backup program.

I thought the 1.5tb and 2tb are sort of hit or miss, because they are all new drives... I bought 2 1tb hdds when they first were available awhile ago, and they died on me less than a month later.

i paid $69 for WD caviar black 640gb, i dont know if that is a good deal or not,, i hope i am not ripped off?

I thought the average computer is barely hitting 1.5Gbps speed yet so 6Gbps would be deemed useless?

They both died on you? Were you running them ina RAID by any chance?
