Seagate 500GB Momentus XT Hybrid SSD $69.99 B&M ONLY!!

So, what's the size of the SSD inside?

4gb for this 500gb version

OP updated. There are still numerous CompUSA locations in my area. Had my wife go grab me one of these earlier with no problems.

As stated earlier, I'm still a SD noob. Had no idea this deal was B&M only. Still a good price though if you have a CompUSA in the area!

hmm does the 4 gb really do that much of a difference? then again this is just a 500gb hd on steroids and the price is pretty on par with current hds... maybe I'll pick one up tomorrow

Absolutely does!

Guys is there anyway I can get the online ad? Newegg is asking for a link. I asked them to price match or cancel and they said its already shipped even though I placed order on Saturday at 1 am. Any ideas?

if it will help, if they still have em at my local compusa store will they take a copy of the receipt?

For those wondering about performance, the general testing results suggest that the drive operates like the best 7200rpm drive you'll ever buy (so not SSD-level performance, but easily outmatching much more expensive hard drives):

However, the online community has some pretty mixed reviews with plenty offering good experiences while others note high failure rates and/or strange performance characteristics.
It can be difficult to eliminate user error, but the level of complaints has generally kept me personally away from this niche category of drive. If I didn't have the luxury of operating an SSD-only laptop or mixed SSD/traditional drive desktop then I would be giving this deal more serious consideration.

Good luck!

yeah they still have'em at my store as well. They might take the receipt, I dunno. I wish I had not ordered it.

found the ad link. I emailed to newegg they said I would receive refund. I also talked to another newegg rep on phone and he said just reject the package and newegg does not price match so I have no idea what's what. I am going to start buying more from amazon and less from newegg.

I picked one of these up today.

For anyone around Atlanta that wants to make the drive, the Jefferson store had 4-5 left as of 2 hours ago.

Btw: When I called to check availability and price, they told me the price was $95. I think they reroute their calls to some sort of call center that doesn't know jack about their deals.

If you go to compusa.com and click on retail ad on top, or just click the link below, itll show the drive advertised for $69.99 on sale.
