Seagate 250GB IDE Drive - $49.99 shipped (20 cents a gig). - GoFuckYourself.com

Yes yes, it's IDE. But it's also Seagate and comes with a five year warranty. And it's fucking cheap, under 20 cents a gig without any rebates. Buy one. You know you want to.

A few of em are handy to have around

And a small difference in the price of the first "real" hard drive I bought - which was.. hell can't remember, think 10 gigs (or may have been less) and cost over $2000 *lol*

fallenmuffin · 04-07-2007, 12:12 AM

Damn, thats a sweet deal.

Yahook · 04-07-2007, 04:04 AM

Good price, very cheap.

Why · 04-07-2007, 04:21 AM

but, everything we use at home and office is sata, scsi or sas. no more IDE, its the way of the past.

I got in on the 500GB SATAII deal from last week. I was pleasantly surprised that although the retail model name was for 7200.9, the actual drive was 7200.10.

I just pop the IDE drives in cheap enclosures and use them as external storage.

You can get better deals at Best Buy if you watch the mail in rebates.

And FUCK Seagate. Absolutely worthless drives. IBM (now d/b/a Hitachi - they sold their hard drive unit because it came to have such a pathetic reputation), Seagate and Quantum are three brands of hard drives I will never use ever again.

I think I've had one Seagate fail compared to literally over a dozen of Maxtor and one shitty IBM. The new Hitachi drives are top notch after IBM got out of the picture lol, they are rock solid. Regardless, I'd take my chances with Seagate than ever trust a shitty Maxtor drive

inabon · 04-07-2007, 10:05 PM

if you are not serving anything from it is a sweet deal

woj · 04-07-2007, 11:15 PM

at that price I might buy it and just store backups on it...

Sly · 04-07-2007, 11:20 PM

You mentioned a 5 year warranty... does anyone really care about a warranty with hard drives? I'm just thinking of the Tommy Boy scene here, lol. I don't want a hard drive with a warranty to make me feel warm inside, I want a hard drive that isn't going to fail, haha.

Anyway, pretty good deal. I've used WD in the past primarily.

umm, seagate and hitachi are considered the undustry standard by many, i do believe that is what dell and many others are shipping out right now. they certainly blow WD and maxtor the fuck out of the water. i really wonder where you got this information, probably just regurgatated bullshit you heard somewhere on the internet. we have literally hundreds of HDDs and none of the hitachi or seagates have ever failed us.

i 110% agree, NBD help doesnt mean shit if i have a broken server, the money invested into warantees and service plans is much better invested in on-site replacement hardware. the warantee doesnt cover my lost sales due to downtime.

jact · 04-08-2007, 04:47 AM

I remember paying $2500 for a 1.4 gig seagate, man have times changed...

Brad Mitchell · 04-08-2007, 05:09 AM

The 5 year warranty is an indication that it's not a consumer drive, it's enterprise grade. That Seagate drive, although IDE, has a 16mb cache as well. Seagate makes good drives, as does Hitachi. Every manufacturer makes drives that fail - if you have had a bunch from one manufacturer in your life then consider yourself statistically unlucky.

Ace_luffy · 04-08-2007, 06:38 AM

good price...

zibril · 04-08-2007, 06:55 AM
