Staples has the Maxtor 500GB Ultra16 SATA II Internal Hard Drive on sale for $49.99. Add a filler item to make shipping free. Or you can buy 2 and use a $25 off $100 coupon. That would be $78 for 1tb Maxtor 500GB Ultra16 SATA II Internal Hard Drive on sale for $49.99 Ultra performance for gaming and digital video
* * 500GB * * SATA/300 interface * * 7200RPM * * 16MB cache buffer * * Fluid dynamic bearing motor for ultra quiet operation * * MaxBlast™ drive utilities for intelligent formatting and partitioning * * 3-year warranty included
For me, the link leads to a Wikipedia article on Bromine! Just too funny. (There is a <br in the link, which I think gets googled on, leading to Wikipedia.)

Or, add the 320 GB portable WD drive for $100 + a filler, and use a $30/$150. WD: http://www.Staples.com/office/supplies/p13__244334_10051_Business_Supplies

i've used this drive before and it's failed on me, but two for 78 dollars, can't complain.

I bought it yesterday for 59.99+$15 filler -$25 coupon (25off75)=50+tax. Today I called in to do a price adjustment. Will that fail my coupon?

I have ASUS A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 that has SATA. To my understanding this drive should work with SATA 1. Any suggestion?

method said:Not so good reviews on NewEgg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822144244 I agree with those bad reviews. Stay away from Maxtor to avoid future headaches. I had two drive and both of them died soon after 1 year. I would not keep them even if I get FAR.

$81.30 for 2 and a dozen ballpoint pens shipped! Use the $25 off $100; it's a buck cheaper, and you get to pick a filler!

Nice price...just like memory prices drive costs are dropping with the low demand and weak economy....memory prices are forecast to continue to drop at least thru Xmas...expect even better bargains for both this holiday season with sales the weakest in 24 years.

thanks OP. last time i bought it for $57.73 AR (after tax and filler and cpn). called to adjust price and got $21.48 back. $36.25 for 500gb hd can't beat that. Wish i bought more . i jumped on two this time for $83.51, surprisingly didn't have to add filler and coupon went through just fine. ~$120 for 3 HDs. thanks again

These are ALL rebadged Seagate drives now. These ones should be either 7200.10 or .11. If you bought one a year or more ago there's a chance you got a 7200.9 or .8. There were known problems with the .9 (I think). Check the label on the top of the drive, bottom left or right corner should show 7200.x and you'll know.
