suds1821 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Hello all, I am interested in the 500 gb Seagate FreeAgent ext hard drive from Circuit City for $80 after MIR. Two questions: 1. How early do you think I need to be there to get this item, i.e. how many do you think they have in stock considering it's not a "doorbuster"? 2. Do you think the same deal will be available online? Thanks!
riven3d Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 I do not advise buying Seagate anything, I bought a 160gb on back before Halloween, had to return it the next day because it quit working, lost about 10gb of data, luckily thats all I had transfered to it.
sickrubik Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Seagate is normally one of the most reliable HD manufacturers. Flukes do happen though.
BellaVita Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 I bought a western digital last night at target and I just realized that it is only one year warrenty as the Segate one is five years.
modokislayer Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 I no longer buy seagate HDD's. I bought 2 160gb last year and they both failed within 6months. Luckly I always back all of my data on discs.
freesia39 Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 that's funny, because i used to be western digital only and i had 2 200gb ones fail on me - seagate only from now on!
stckciv Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Wont let me buy the HD at CC! Site is down now also.
Ripn Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 OOS you may still be able to get the Maxtor 500GB external @ Staples
Shann Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 My friend wanted the one from Target, but turns out they only had two and he didn't get either of them, well I saw this thread and told him about it. Apparently there was one at a store prob 20 miles from here. We ended up going out to eat and I talked him into stopping at the CC, one that said they were out of stock, as it was 7:30 PM. We looked around at the external hard drives, I even got on my hands and knees and crawled on the floor looking for that one. For some reason I honestly thought we'd find one... well guess what, I DID!!! It was the only one there shoved way back :)
