SirEvan Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 omg.. my friend just sent me a link to a site selling 160GB ata-100 8mb buffer drives for 23.99$ a piece, and 200GB 2MB buffer drives for 18.99$ piece... this is an incredible steal for Western Digital hard drives.. I think i'm going to order 2 of each Heres the 160GB 8mb buffer drive: 160GB drive Heres the 200GB 2MB buffer drive: 200GB drive get them now before they're all gone.

+.Aaron Subscriber¹ Posted January 19, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 19, 2004 There has to be something about these that doesnt seem right. They could be refurbed or worse...they dont work. But 19.00 seems a little fishy. I am going to pass this one up and hope I dont have to kick myself in the pants later.

shihchiun Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 they probably just made a mistake, maybe forgot the last digit.. you should probably buy them before they find out and change the price back to what it's supposed to be.
