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! :)

  • Andrews International harasses me for holding my camera July 8, 2009
    Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 at 6:35pm, I was waiting outside the box office of The Knitting Factory, when I was confronted by an Andrews International security guard. “No taking pictures on private property,” he says. Unbelievable. I reasoned that: I was only holding my camera, not taking any photos. I hadn’t taken a single photo. The bag I h […]

  • To hang with The Ready Set tonight June 30, 2009
    I’ll be at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood tonight to: take photos for The Ready Set1, and hang out with Andrew Swanson (@itsswanny) at their merchandise table. The kicker: I don’t know Andrew. But, his dad is Jon Swanson (Levite Chronicles). We’ve been following each other on Twitter since I met Chris Marsden. Jon told me that Andrew w […]

  • OEM batteries for my Canon EOS 40D June 24, 2009
    In April 2008, I bought a Canon BP-511A 1390 mAh equivalent battery from SuperMart for $5.23 + $6 shipping (USD). It held a decent charge  for a year before decreasing in charge capacity, with no damage to my camera. Now, I’m going to try buying from SterlingTek. I would’ve gotten the two-pack, but I don’t need [...]

He sent this status update on Facebook a few days ago: If you or your friends are musicians, spread the word that I will record one of their songs for [free]! How good can it sound? Listen to some [...]

  • Silas and Megan June 23, 2009
    I can’t deny that I’m into people photos, especially portraits. On Flickr alone, I have 908 and 1,571 tagged as portrait and people, respectively. Last Monday, I was going to hang out with Silas for an impromptu photowalk. His girlfriend, Megan, came along, so I made the decision to hang out at the park. Cute stuff, right? View [...]
