YMMV - 2Tb Samsung F4 $32 Open Box

johan851 · May 9, 2012

A handful of those I never saw go in stock, but they appeared as new Open Box items. Usually that means they'll go in stock soon...or they'll go in stock for about two seconds.

Samsung 5900 RPM 2TB for $63. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148413R

of course it's when I can't afford it.

lol i got a 2 tb on the last sale i clicked and they where gone this time

Mpegger · May 16, 2012

I check everyday and never see these sales, and by the time someone posts the link here, it's gone when I check it.

Both of the 2tb drives ive managed to grab were around 1 and 2 am pacific time, the ones that pop up around 4pm do nothing but frustrate me.

johan851 · May 17, 2012

They show up at around 4:00 PM pacific and 2:00 AM pacific. Usually more in the 4:00 PM round (3-6). Usually 1-2 show up at night.

I may or may not have an automated script that logs/notifies me when these events occur.

For the good deals around 4:00 PM you have to be really quick.

By the way, I've received both of the Samsung 2TB drives I ordered. The marked "Barracuda Green" at the top, but still say Samsung. There's a Seagate-style model number with a Samsung part number below, so they're still proper Samsung HD204UI drives but with some relabeling. Seagate's website says they're in warranty until 2015, as expected.

Arrg, I really need one, I'm down to 115GB free.

I actually got your post right away and checked it and they seemed to be in stock. My problem is that I didn't have any $$ in the bank to order one :bang head

Figures. The morning hours are when I am at work with no internet access (firewalled), and the afternoon hours are when I'm asleep. :/

Not the best deal but still an alright price

The Refurbished kinda kills it for me. I've had nothing but problems from practically every WD Green I've ever purchased. Refurbished might as well be "guaranteed not to work" in my eyes.

johan851 · May 17, 2012

Refurbished drives often don't have a warranty. That's why I only consider Open Box. I could be wrong about the WD drive though.

According to Newegg's site, it only has a 90 day warranty. They do list a deal for a 1 year extended warranty. Still not close to the 3 you get for retail.

TiZakit · May 17, 2012

The drive listed above says 3-year warranty. Though I'm sure that is not supposed to be there.

If you are referring to the one that Horrerblade posted, I only see a 90 day warranty listed but don't see 3-year anywhere. Are you talking about a different link someone else posted?

EDIT: Oh I see now that you might be referring to the Overview tab. I'd say definitely just copy/pasted from the retail page.

TiZakit · May 17, 2012

See, I was looking all over for that info, and couldn't spot it.

Thanks for the screen.

600GB Velociraptor - $110

IDK how many people would go for this over an SSD these days, but some people might still look for a good performing HDD with plenty of space

hokiealumnus · May 18, 2012

GAH! I'd go for it for that price if I hadn't spent all my money on a monitor. Darnit. :bang head

Thanks for the link though! :thup:
