Decent HD deal?

[munckee]

I'm looking for a new hard drive for my external enclosure I bought one a couple of months ago (300GB for $80), but can't seem to find a similarly good deal. I'd really prefer to avoid rebate hassles since it seems they only come through about half the time.

Anyone notice anything good lately? I've been checking slickdeals, dealmac, and techbargains.

Thanks!

if you are checking those 3 sights you will likely see any deal way before it is mentioned here (if at all).

if nothing is posted, i always just take a look at office depot/max and compare to staples. Price match to staples and try to use a coupon (my local store lets me do that).

Circuit City has had some great Seagate deals but with rebate. However there rebate process (like staples) is very easy and dependable so far.

Not great but good deals.

If you can check your local Fry's every once and awhile they have a great deal, sometimes its rebate and sometimes its not, but you have to get there fast.

If you don't mind rebates try http://www.tigerdirect.com. I found a 250gb drive with an enclosure for $69. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2367991&CatId=0
