$90 for 200 Gb Western Diital HD a good deal?
I'm looking for another Hard drive again as I'm constantly running out of space. I found tigerdirect selling 200Gb Western digital HDs for $90 after rebates. (Western Digital Caviar SE 200GB / 7200 / 8MB / ATA-100 EIDE Hard Drive)
Before I buy it I was wondering whether this is a good deal or not?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Here is the link: Tigerdirect

After some research I've deicded to hold off on buying it. I hear the SE series has had some problems with disk failure. I think I'll wait till I see similar deals for Seagate. I know compusa has them once in a blue moon.

The SE Special Edtition drives are good when they work, fortunately they come with 3 year RMA warranty. I used to have better luck with WD drives, but Then again I remember getting a 2 GB WD drive that was dead on arrival. If you want to a get good reliable drive go for one that is 120 GB or less. Personally, lately I have been using Seagate drives and love them.

i think theyre all the same. Hard drives are hard drives when it comes to major brands.
