    Question Western Digital 80Gig hard drive

    Our local Office Max has an 80 Gig, 7200 RPM Western Digital "Special Edition" hard drive on sale for $19.99 after rebates.
    Seems like a good deal, but $19.99?
    Any comments?

    I picked up a DVD CDROM the same way at 19 dollars after three rebates at Best Buy, but you have to follow the rebate instructions to a T.

    For 19 dollars - buy it. The warranty should be at least a year.

    Go for it, there's nothing wrong with WD drives. I never find bargains like that

    Its a steal. One of OfficeMax's in-store specials (must be unloading inventory). Its ATA100 (which is more than fine). Appears to be the WD800JBRTL model, which has the 3 year warrenty to boot.

    Thank you all, I will get the hard drive. My present WD drive (13 GIG) is 4 years old, never had any problems.

    Good luck. And move fast, as they tend to sell out of the good in-store stuff very quickly. Could already be too late since the ad appeared in sunday's papers.
