2x 1.5TB Samsung HDD $200 Shipped

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152175

The egg has these on sale, any quantity of 2 or higher makes the drive only cost $99 w/ FREE shipping.

Thats a super good deal for this much storage. I may grab a pair for my home server project.

Update: Newegg took away the quantity pricing, now when you buy one you will see the option to buy a bundle special, so you have to select the bundle and buy in quantities of 2 instead of being able to get any number higher than 2.

 

This is a fantastic deal given the price/capacity ratio. However, I've had bad experiences with the 2.5" samsung drives and wonder how reliable are the their 3.5" drives. Anyone care to comment?

 

I'd like to know too.

 

Wow, now this is a deal! Thank you so much Vicious! I needed more storage, my 2 TB was running out of room.

 

5400RPM? Boo!

 

So tempting, this would make a nice addition to my server.
I keep wanting to buy some drives, but I always end up saying "I'll wait until I'm out of space, rather than at about 90%, then do it"

 

Boo, if its for your primary computer drive, but most people seeking out 1TB+ of space are looking for a storage drive. In that situation the lower heat/power/noise of a 5400rpm drive is actually desired.

 

^^^
Truth

I've been looking at those Seagate 5900RPM drives over a 7200 RPM drive.

 

Price error corrected - price back to $200, but still a great deal

UPDATE: PRICE ERROR! Add 2 of these to your cart and see the price drop another $40!!! Total for 2 x 1.5TB = $160

EDIT: I just placed an order. This is a STEAL for this amount of space. Let's just hope newegg won't cancel my order anytime soon

 

Im almost forced to buy this now.

 

Hmm shows $199 when I tried it the other day, but maybe I never actually had it in cart, just my wish list.


Dont forget to cut another 2.5% with bing.com cashback if you can pay outright with paypal.

Me personaly its gotta go on a credit card. I know your supposed to be able to use a CC with paypal but for me it seems to take it out of my bank account even if there is nothing there

 

Yeah, you have to add it to your cart to see the additional $40 discount

 

Update: no workie for me $199 but still no complaints thats a good deal no matter how you slice it

You see a $40 discount for the bundle but it still only is being taken away from the original $240.00 price.

 

Ah... Newegg must have found out and changed the error

Good thing I placed my order in time and now it's already been shipped

 

wow, thats crazy. you have the devils luck David.

I see exactly what happened too, yesterday it was setup @ quantity pricing. 1 = $119 2+ = $99

You just add them to the cart and once you had 2+ of them in the cart the price would drop.

Now they took away that quantity pricing I can add 2 of them to the cart without selecting the bundle and its $240, so they added that bundle deal to save $40.

You got your order in right when they made that transaction so you got the $99 quantity price and the $40 bundle discount.

They probably did this to boost sales, now you have to buy in quantity of 2 for the deal, before you could easily order 3 or any odd number and get the $99 price.

 

Yeah, $160 is (was) an awesome deal for 3TB. Plus, this is perfect timing too... I'm in the process of building a new desktop

 

Yeah, I missed that. I'll wait for the 1.5TBs to come down to the 80-90 dollar range I guess. Congrats on getting that though.

 

Aw David your so lucky...
