Anyone know how long Samsung has had those 200+GB drives up in their product area?

Anyone know how long Samsung has had those 200+GB drives up in their product area?

Since the beginning of Smarch

Lousy Smarch weather.

I saw this one just the other day at newegg. Is the SpinPoint P Series HD160JJ 160GB part of this batch? At $120, is seems kinda high for 160GB. It also claims 1 year warranty. I thought samsung had 3 years?

 

[Onomatopoeic]

Prices are high likely because quantities are limited (i.e. -- HP is probably consuming a railroad car's worth of these each day.)



Best deals at this hour:


160 GB for US$97

Nice price, but I'm not sure I'd really consider contacting a company called "Go Go City" for a critical computer component.

 

[Mercutio]

GoGo City has been in business for at least five years. They were one of the last places I was aware of that stocked the wonderful Voodoo3 3000.

People shop at (and highly regard) places called "New Egg" and "Zip Zoom Fly"; I wouldn't pass judgement on "Go Go City...."

Thanks, that's good to know. No one has ever mentioned them here before that I know of.
