Sweet hard drive deal

Published January 30, 2006 Computers , Deals 3 Comments

I just saw this at the Best Buy website on my own. I quickly drove out to Pasadena and I’m patiently waiting in line. This is a purchase long overdue. So awesome!

Later at home…

Seagate 120GB Internal Ultra ATA/100 Hard Drive ST3120026A-RK

So I drove out before I had a chance to eat dinner. I got home, and just finished eating – but it’s past 9:00pm. Guess what I’ll be doing? :)

I just sent this to Irwin, so hopefully he’ll post it up on Passwird Deals.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention how I found this deal. I was comparing hard drive prices between PC Club, CompUSA, and Best Buy. I have an older motherboard without RAID support, so I don’t think I could’ve gotten a drive bigger than 120GB without having to get a PCI controller card as well. Calculating the price, $0.50/GB is incredible! (Compare this with the same hard drive at Newegg for $78, $0.65/GB.)

“All Narfed up without the geeky stuff”, I appreciate the deal but you lost me at ‘older mother…’

I couldn’t help it, and my Flickr blog email address is linked to this blog, not All Narfed Up. Sorry! :)

Bryan at IKEA April 27, 2012
Despite the rough lighting that makes me appear sinister, I really liked this photo that Amy took of me a couple of months ago. I did my best adjusting the white balance, then I realized it doesn’t matter that much. … Continue reading →

Porto’s Bakery April 26, 2012
A couple months ago, I went to lunch with Amy at Porto’s Bakery & Cafe in Burbank. It was my first time there, and I’ll just say that I’m glad there’s another one in Glendale (closer to us). I had … Continue reading →

Amy and I drove to Hollywood for dinner at Fuku Burger last week. I had a Tamago (egg) burger, Amy had the same with the falafel patty (no meat), and we split the garlic fries. We both thought it was … Continue reading →

Photo workflow and my iPhone March 27, 2012
I’m annoyed with the disorganized amount of photos I’ve accumulated on my iPhone, and I currently synchronize (backup) my iPhone photos to my laptop with iPhoto. My slight frustration was more obvious after my recent trip to Tybee Island, GA … Continue reading →
