Wanted: >= 60GB SATA HD - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Dean · 2008-09-08, 04:01 PM

Anybody got a spare 60GB or larger 3.5" SATA HD lying around they want to get rid of? I have tons of spare P/U ATA drives but no SATA large enough for Vista.

My one SATA machine just started throwing SMART errors when I fired it up Sunday after getting back from Lovelock and I don't want to spend much right now to replace it. Yes, Senior cheap bastard knows you can get a no-name 500Gb for $53, but not tonight/tomorrow.

Any help out there?

Here's a 320, for under $60, at CompUSA. You can have that running tonight:

...and it's even a decent Barracuda drive!

Edit: and here's the 160GB version of the same drinve for under $50 at Office Depot:

...since I'm not sure if CompUSA is still in business or not these days.

Um, we don't have a CompUSA any more... If nobody has a spare one, I'll have to pay local rip off prices. As I said, a 500Gb is $53 no-name and $65 Name brand on-line so $50 for a 160Gb is a rip off IMHO.

It's not a rip-off if you have to have it tonight. That's, in fact, the going price.
