SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive for $109 at Newegg

Quote from halogod2 : I bought 2 of these a year ago. I only paid around $45 each.

Thank you for telling us the price you paid for it. We know it was cheaper months ago.

I'm also amazed at all the people thumbing down this thread because they didn't realize there was a natural disaster in Thailand and all the hard drive prices are ridiculous inflated.

This is a great deal, considering prices won't be normal until at least Q3 2012 or early 2013.

Good price for the drive. 3.0 Gb/s is quite enough.

wow that's really expensive. I'm glad I bought it when it was $59.99 at Micro Center.
Thai flooding thing sucks. really.

I just cannot bring myself to bite the bullet after getting this for 55 a year ago.

+1 ... just isn't right. Yes, Yes, i know the floods, but its taking advantage I reckon. Hold tight folks, they will return to normal....soon....

Whatever the reason truly is...floods or coporations taking advantage of the situation. The bottom line is that benchmarked against all available prices for this hard drive, this is a great deal. Also note that macmall [macmall.com] dropped the price to about the same ($108.99 so a buck cheaper).

I had a 20 off 40 still for newegg so I jumped on it. You won't touch this drive anywhere for a while at a price of 89.99.

You're absolutely right about this price, it's great in a rough hdd market. Also as far as these current hdd prices are concerned, the flood is a perfect opportunity for Seagate to price gouge, how can they ever pass up this opportunity? While it is true WD faced floods, Seagate was untouched.

Thanks for the deal though, I have been lazy to upgrade my computer, but figured a new harddrive and a switch to Windows 7 would kickstart the process.

Was bummed I missed out on the 1TB "Green" drive two days ago, but this deal is so much better! I know they're more expensive now, but I wanted the warm cushy feeling of knowing I at least got a deal relative to reality, not three months ago

I've been looking for a HD the last few days and can't believe how much thay have gone up due to the flooding overseas. Anyway, this is the best deal I can find. If there is something better, please let me know...

The hard drive is $149.99 - $40 off w/ promo code EMCJHJE29, ends 12/21 = $109.99 + FS

Why did this get TD? This price is the sad reality of hard drives right now, but as far as I know this is a top deal.

Wow, now is not the time to buy hard drives guys.. this should be like $50 by now! Stupid floods!

Great drive, I have one in this computer right now... but I paid like $55 like a year ago lol

I agree... The price on all HD's suck right now. From what I've been told, the price's wont be coming down for 3-6 months... From what I can see, this is a pretty good deal for a HD that has good specs/reviews...

Note that this is the 7200RPM model and not the usual 5400RPM model which is what you would normally find on sale for the $50-$60 range... Still a high price but not as terrible as most people would probably think based on the current HD scarcity...
