Best deal on a Maxtor HD

[ChimChim]

Looking for a good deal on a Maxtor hard drive. Looking for at least 300GB.

Needs to be PATA or IDE interface. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks :)

Do you have a Fry's Electronics or MicroCenter near you?

Not within a 100 miles.

I have a Western Digital 300GB PATA drive FS. It's brand new in the box.

That would be a pretty good deal there...

 

Are you absolutely set on Maxtor? Any particular reason why?

Scott - Have had good luck with Maxtor. Have not had too good of luck with WD.

 

mrn8 - I must say the price is tempting How long is the warranty period on that drive?

1 Year.

 

Might I suggest that you look at Seagate (at the risk of not selling mine ).

 

They come with a 5 year warranty and have been the most reliable drives I've ever owned.

I have looked at the SEAGATE 400GB PATA ST3400632A-RK.

 

It's 109.99 at outpost.com

I think with the price & the warranty this would be a better choice.

I agree.
