picked up 3 today using the 10% coupon on each one
on the last one I decided to try and use the triple rewards points coupon too, it worked, no problems from cashier using 2 coupons
should have tried it on the other ones

No DTG @ Nashua and Salem, NH. They're all WHG, tons of them. Too bad.

I was able to get one of these 7200 drives. The problem is that it does not fit my Dell XPS M170 Laptop. Is there a way to adapt to work with my laptop. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I was also trying to use True Image to clone disk and it went all the way to 70% and then the laptop turned off.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Happy Thanksgiving.

i went to an atlanta BB at 5am on black friday, all were W something : }
next day went to another one all were W something, but two were DEG, and they are the 7200 drives : }

ah you're right, it was the same day. I attached Black Friday morning as my Thursday night since I did not sleep. So then I went to another Best Buy on the same day.

All drives (either SATA or PATA) are standard for laptops.

First check if your drive is SATA (this one is SATA, so won't work if you laptop takes a PATA).

If your laptop takes a SATA, all you will need to do is unscrew the drive from the caddy (the thing that holds the drive) and then replace it with this drive. It is fairly simple operation, you will need to unscrew about 2-4 screws to remove the drive from the caddy.

Also, there is a video posted by someone on youtube.com to remove the drive from the Hitachi enclosure.

Good Luck!

If not I will have to get rid of this hard drive.

Thank you

Has anyone found a drive other than DTG or DEG that is 7200rpm?

JordanYou can look http://www.bixnet.com/harddrivenotes.html if you see those type of connectors, and your laptop has 44-Pin IDE, consider selling the laptop. It is an old style.

This looks like it is still alive - I picked up a DTG at Best Buy in NYC at 44th & 6th Ave today. I think it was the last one.

Still 2 DTGs in the New Hartford NY BB as of yesterday...all the rest are a different SN (WSG or something like that)
