Thanks SJMS. I will look into it. The HD that died worked for over 5 years. That's 12 hours daily most days since I retired. The computer works fine but needs a hard drive. The only loss is my time and my porn supply.


maybe you need a slightly larger drive for your collections.

Anyone wondering why someone would by equipment from Dell has probably never bought equipment from Dell

They run ridiculously good sales and discount coupons at regular intervals that are often hard to beat anywhere - both on Dell-branded gear and lots of other consumer electronics. Just check out any of the deal websites like fatwallet.com or slickdeals.net and you'll regularly find good prices pop up. Also, I haven't ordered from a business account with them in a while, but they used to have a pretty good discount even for very low volume business accounts.

not so true. just on that HD alone. its $70 vs $75 1year vs 5 years. both free shipping. there's always a cost. and i did dell for awhile. the ROI wasn't there.

The second, fourth, fifth posts all said you should buy it elsewhere. In fact, your first post in the thread was prior to him posting any kind of price and suggested that there was no good reason to buy a drive with Dell anyway - so the retrospective might back up your initial impression, but that information wasn't available when you first dismissed the idea .

Anyway, not trying to argue, just to point out that Dell isn't a place most people think of for deals but, in fact, they often run great specials or discounts that compare favorably to the best deals around.

Ordered the HD from B&H yesterday evening. They are closed today, so I will get it Friday. I might install it Monday. I did find the USB drive with the porn supply, so all is copasetic. Thanks, SJMS for the lead. 5 year warranty for 6 bucks? Well worth it.
