I don’t know about a refurbished drive…I’ve been looking for a sata drive around that size though. I looked at office max in blasdell today. All they had on the shelf was the 80 Gb WD and it was marked 60something.

Word,I went to 2 office max’s today and they didnt reduce anything!! They had signs saying “up to 50% off” but it scanned at full price.

This was at transit rd and the union rd store.

That 50% off is a fallacy. Well, around here at least.

Sunday Ads in newspapers are area specific.

Neither Office Max -or- Office Depot have WD on sale. They hardly carry WD as is. This is true for the store on Eggert (OD next to Mighty) and the OM on Maple & Sweet home.

☹

Overall these drives should start getting cheap fast… the 750 gb internal HDD has been out long enough.

Ahh, it’s amazing to think that at one point in time that breaking the $10 per MegaByte barrier was amazing, and GigaByte’s were a far off fantasy, and TeraBytes were non-existant. How the times have changed. 🙂

ummm, the ad for the store in amherst on maple says WD up to 50% off.

Now whether they carry any or not is a different story.

Fantastic. Thats incredible. Wonderful.

Now, go to the store (in-person) and find me an 80 gig WD HDD for less then $69.99

Or, even better: Find me any other WD drive bigger then 80 gig in that store.

If they don’t carry it, and it’s an IN-STORE only sale… WTF GOOD DOES THAT DO US?
