any suggestions for a good, reliable External HD enclosure for my WD 200 Gb Drive. I have a seagate barracuda 4 and want to keep it because its quiet. I will be using the 200 Gig as my storage for Mp3, and DVD movies. thanks

This is a great post and a great idea.
But it would be even better if the moderators would make it a sticky post and every few days delete the previous post. That way it doesn't turn into one of those hundreds of post threads.
nice to see all the harddrive post on one thread.

The Title is generated automatically based on what drives are in the controlling CSV file ... you give me the details of the 60,180,300gb disks, and it'll update the title...

They can trim it, but if they delete the original posting, it will break the automated scripts ... (at least until I notice that it is broken :-D)

WD WD1200JBRTL - $79.99 ($30+20MIR) - OfficeMax SKU:2034-6127 [10/12-10/18] IN STORE ONLY
WD WD1200JBRTL - $79.99 ($80MIR) - BestBuy SKU:4654181 [10/12-10/18]


Does this mean we can PM OM at BB? Price would be:

$160 at BB
-30 PM to OM
-80 MIR
=$50 +tax after rebates?

How is BB at PMing to before rebate prices?

Or can you get OM to PM their online price for just $10 more off?

BB is great at PM (subject to the manager not being an @$$h01e) ... Unfortunately, if it is a BestBuy Rebate, you will invalidate the rebate ... (if it is a manufacturer's rebate it will have no effect)

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 >>

A helpful post. Thank you.

Looking at getting the 120gb drive, need space.

Any chance of adding laptop drives to the list?

If you have the data. sure ...

However, this is supposed to be for HotDeals ... (I included NewEgg and Sam's purely for those that don't want to bother with rebates) ... Laptop drives rarely have rebates (or hot deals, though I suppose Dell could produce one every now and again ... Also, laptop harddrive prices doesn't really change much, so the regular price-comparison sites such as price-grabber.com / cnet.com / nextag.com are probably your best bet (These sites don't handle MIR pricing ... which is why sites like FatWallet are important).

Alternatively, (and this is what I do) use fleabay.
