Holy crap! They’re like cockroaches!!
<grumble> seeing this up again makes those of us who already bought one feel… unspecial 
250GB… not bad… refurb… bad. so sad.
Awsome woot. Thanks I dont need anymore. All the xboxs got the drives from last time. these work perfectly in the xbox as upgrades.
Note: This post contains pricing information for future reference because it is generally not available elsewhere once the next Woot has been offered.

2mb cache? WTF??? Welcome to 1998!
250gb is a good size, but too bad its a refurb (rox0rz!)(rox0rz!)(rox0rz!)(rox0rz!)(rox0rz!)
Great woot! I have three from previous woots and they’re great…
Refurb…for $50.
Could have gotten a new maxtor for the same price
Great Deal, good price. Have one.
Not tonight. Nite Nite Woot
Not that I’m tired of these or anything, but I wonder how many Caviars are sitting in the Woot warehouse…
Great drive for expanding your TIVO. If you have the guts…
woot, you’re not too popular lately. put up an LCD flat screen for way cheap and get the people back on your side. ANyways, some good links…
Shopzilla Link… $89 minimum
Nextag LInk…… this sites dumb.
BizRate’s Hard Drive Buying Guide… another attempt at a ‘cool’ link to compliment my ‘useful’ links. I think i might make this a regular thing, if you don’t mind.
Okay, I know that I’ve seen this on woot, what, three times already? And wasn’t it actually cheaper the last time it was sold. No thanks.
Unreal…these things screw more and reproduce faster than rabbits
Great deal have 5 of them working great not 1 problem … quiet!
If only my credit limit was higher i’d get 4 more!
Rip this deal up!!!
I wonder, this HDD would be fine for normal use(music and Win '98/2K gaming) and just not modern gaming(FEAR/Battlefield 2), n’est pas?
Mmm more hard drives - I’m pleased to say that these drives work well in an Xbox - i’ve got mine, had it for a year now, on basically 24/7 - its full of…um…“stuff” and works without a problem!
All told, I’ve bought 4 of these puppies from woot and not one of them works properly. There’s nothing like chkdsk saying, almost immediately, that it can’t do anything with a drive you’ve just formatted…
