Cheap Sata Drives! $27

I'd say :blink:

a newegg.com search found $125 as the lowest price for that drive

You thought that was a pricing error... look at the rest of them.

Check it out160 GB drives going for $19.99 WD 160 GB

Either they got a smoken deal or someones number 2 key on their keyboard doesn't work real well.

#102233

someone take one for the team and try checking out...

if this is for real, i'm going to town!!!

#102234

Just bought one of each and received email confirmations on both. Now we wait to see if they honor the order or cancel it. (Y)

http://www.resellerratings.com/ had a horrable revie of them. Still if you do get the hard drive, and it runs....

#102243

maybe someone is hacking the site.

i just bought 4 sata drives for me and a couple friends. we'll see how it goes. i already got the confirmation emails.

rjohnstone, this reminds me of the hp scandal. :lol:

yeah i just saw that, but i figured, $27 a drive, what's the worst that can happen? they'll cancel the orders and i won't lose anything, but if it goes through, i would have a fast sata drive for $27. and if it sucks, it can go to ebay.

edit: lostspyder, you have pm's. :)

man good luck on that, cause $27 i've got, $127 i don't. if they really ship it out, this is perhaps the best deal that ever existed since the louisiana purchase. but i can't take the risk of losing rent money if they charge full price on my card. :(

but let me know if you get a shipping/tracking confirmation, i will be all over this.

#102248

Yeah... this does kinda remind me of the HP screw-up.

Well... good luck to all those who purchased.

:D

#102253

just interested, what was that HP scandal? :)

#102408

i posted a deal here and at tcpu for a 17" hp lcd monitor for $200.

see this thread: http://www.twistedcpu.com/board/index.php?...=289&hl=monitor

hp tried to back out on it, but they eventually honored the prices. it was even featured in the inquirer!

yeah, it was posted in one of the threads first. i read it, posted the info here, then bought 4 drives.

it was later posted on the main page by one of the mods who was following the thread.
