Title: 120 Gig HD for 50$
Post by: Izret101 on October 12, 2005, 06:25:53 PM
A friend of mine just informed me that 120 gig harddrives are on sale at Staples for 50$.
No rebates.

If you have 50$ i suggest you go buy one.
I have 0$ in my awllet and only about 15$ if i roll change.
I am debating robbery and/or selling my body...

I own about 5 computers, their total combined hard drive space is under 25GB. I have $1 in my wallet.

Of course not at that price.  SATA is overrated anyway.

For 50$ you could just resell it on eBay if it dosn't work.

And a friend of mine is going to lend me 50$ to get one.
He said next time he went into work he would pick one up for me.

I don't know if 42c a gig is anything to really get that excited over.  

Here is a 300GB hard drive for 30c a gig.
Even has a 16MB cache.

Also, this is prolly the same drive from Best Buy for 34.99.
Again 30c a gig.

Oh, and Nep, USB 2.0 is overrated too. I mean, who really needs to transfer data that quickly anyways?

Newegg is a wonderful, respectable site, and is where I do my online pc shopping, and oogling over things I can not afford.
