good job, but you'll go nuts trying to keep it up to date. I forgive you in advance for letting it slip

This thread is going in my favorites folder.

Excellent work OP, you goet my vote for poster of the year with this thread alone. The HD's are what we all desire in deals, and you came to bat for all of FW. Excellent job, mad mad kudos to you.

If you keep this thread up to date (within reason) you will be THE MAN.
I applaud you on your work so far! The best ideas are the most simple (not that it's simple to keep this thread up, but way to go! great thinking!!)

Thx for the feedback ...

I will NOT guarantee to read all these posts ... but if you PM me, I will include the details ...

PS: I'm using Coldfusion to generate the text from a csv file.
If you PM me, it would be nice if you use the following format:
Size,Model,Price,MIR,Store,SKU,URL,Date,Notes ... That will save me a lot of time.

i'm beginning to run low with only 500gb space left.

ROFL... me too...
I just passed 1 terabyte of capacity last week, and I only have about 200gb free space left. Ah but soon I will have a 200gb WDC from Dell... then I can breath a sigh of relief because I can get my hard drive fix on again... and life will be good at 11 cents per GB.
Complete list of drives (divided between 3 computers):
IBM 60gb
WDC 60gb
Samsung 120gb
Maxtor 120gb
IBM 180gb
Maxtor 200gb
Maxtor 120gb
Maxtor 160gb

Awesome job OP! Just what was needed... thanks!!

Lets see ... in my MP3/Divx server I have:
2x Maxtor 40gb
8x WD 80gb
4x Maxtor 120gb
1x Maxtor 200gb
= 1240Gb ... (although, after the Raid configurations, it's only 880gb :-/)

and I'm looking for some more 120gb (or bigger) to start replacing 80gb disks ...
(and if you are wondering, they are all in the same machine ... with 2 3ware 8port Raid controllers ... and a beautiful case that I bought on eBay ... 16 hotswap IDE drive bays ... :-D) Now, I just need to convince the wife that we really need all this space ... though with two DVD+/-RW drives, its difficult ... still, I suppose I could buy an optical jukebox ...

coming soon ... email based submission ... or web based submission page ...

then step 2 will be a CD/DVD drive & media Thread ... then who knows ... maybe a thread for memory or monitors ... we will see ...

Automating the information retrieval is the hardest part ... but once its done, the submissions are easy ... right now its a CSV file ... once I get my Oracle server (also running on the MP3 server) configured, then it will be possible to have automated updates occuring ...

Very nice... good job albrandwood. I have kept track of some items in a similar fashion (Excel for now) for compact flash memory (price per mb) and dvd-r media, but never shared any of it. I have been meaning to start one for hard drives and lcd monitors, but those items are much more time consuming to keep updated (pretty much daily). Kudos to you if you can pull it off in a automated fashion.

The Maxtor L01P120 is currently the cheapest per GB... 58 cents using a $20 off coupon. I have bought a couple on two different rebate periods now and chose instore pickup option. Price does not include taxes.

I don't think that is a good idea. Probably should start seperate topics for SATA, SCSI, and external USB/Firewire drives. This list is going to be hard enough for albrandwood to maintain as it is (I would suggest adding "IDE ATA" to topic title).

Also I would eventually like to see 60gb, 180gb, and 300gb sizes added to the list if possible (yes I know there are no rebates out now for those sizes, but there will be soon).
