    why should you pay 50-60$ extra for a 3$ cable?

    also OEM is OEM, nothing but the drive in a bit of packaging. No documentation whatsoever.

    You still get the full warranty though.


    =============

    also, Seagates PRM drives are nice in terms of performance. I am currently using one. I like it. They are noisy though which is a turn off for some. Let me put it in perspective, people said that raptors are noisy. They aren't. The PRM barracudas are though.

    fare warning. be informed...

    also, why is it he gets credit for recommending it, i recommended it before him....

    ewww....

    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&Tab=2&NoMapp=0

    that HD is $99 then u get a rebate which god knows how long that will take to get back then on top of that ur looking at $6.99 for shipping and $10 for tax ur total = $114.47

    ^^^ not worth it cuz if ur looking to spend that much u can go down to bestbuy and buy a 200gb for around 120ish with all the cables and all retail.

    :rolleyes:

    you read Xelink's post at all? OEM doesnt mean it's bad. and the cables you can get cheaper seperate without the retail product..

    and i believe tax doesn't apply to him. And Tiger Direct's rebates are legit. they use a very promosing rebate company

    Since you want a 200gb you might wanna buy a 260gb cuz about 20-40gb will be knocked off.
