Hard Drive Deal

What do you guys think of this Harddrive? Good Buy? I like the fact you dont have to deal with all the BS mail in rebates...one price... that's it.

Not bad.... I actually just bought a 200gb HD for $100 after rebate from Tiger Direct. I think the rebate expired.. not sure.. but you may want to look there. It was a Seagate THD-200A2P (200GB/7200RPM/8MB Buffer).

Not sure what the big deal is with mail-in rebates... I've never had a problem with them. Plus, at 50 cents per gig... I'll take the time to do a rebate .

Western Digital=crap

Go with a Seagate...I know a lot of people who hate Maxtors too, but I've never had an issue with a Maxtor drive.
