[1024]

Western digital is offering 200 gig hard disks for $120 to $150!!!! This includes a mail in rebate, but its worth it. I got one and man its awesome. Check it out, it ends next saturday, i believe (Not positive though).

Can you post a link? I didn't see it on their site.

I didnt find it online. Hop by your local Fry's and see if they have it there, thats where i got mine.


PS. MAN 10,000 mb's of virtual memory is AWESOME

Bah! We don't have a Fry's down here in Atlanta.


Edit: I see one on Newegg.com but its $178.

Go for it man. Retails like $230. Sweet deals on big drives are awesome.

Just got a WD Raptor. Its doing pretty decent, but can't say I seriously notice an everyday speed increase. It defintely blows through WinXP install. I'll put a second one in soon and do a 16k cluster Raid0 and sure I'll see some real help.

Was very tempted to get the new Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 200GB SATA drive, was like $269. Stats were rather nice, faster seek/read times than their smaller SATA drives. Haven't heard much about WD's 250GB SATA drive yet.

But I needed an OS drive more than a mass storage drive. I can't stand to have my OS drive really big, b/c its gonna get wiped eventually and partitions make performance go to crap eventually.

Wicked, your in ATL? Cool, same here. I saw on Anand forums were are actually gonna get a Fry's here soon, in Gwinnett I think. I still get most of my stuff from Monarch though.

[WickedDeus]

Yeah, I know we're getting a Fry's and I live in the Duluth area.
