Im thinking about replacing my hardrive just some quick questions first.

Do I have to reformat before getting one?

Right now I have like 40 gb and wanting to get somewhere up in the 100 range. Cause im constantly uninstalling programs for more space.

Where can I get a hardrive thats cheap for my buck but runs well and provides great space?

Thanks for the help! You guys rock! :thumbsup:

    I just bought this sucker, but I also got a $25 MIR on it. I think there's a 160gig for $40 in the Deal Depot forum.

    7200rpm Seagate hard drives going on sale at Circuit City and Best Buy.

    -Circuit City-
    Seagate 120gb - $99.99 - $30MIR - $30MIR = $39.99
    Seagate 160gb - $119.99 - $40MIR - $30MR = $49.99
    Seagate 300gb - $199.99 - $40MIR - $40MIR - $20instant = $99.99

    -Best Buy-
    Seagate 120gb - $99.99 - $40MIR - $20MIR = $39.99

    I really don't think you can top the deals Circuit City and CompUSA have going right now. If you can, please post it for us.

    they sell 40gigs for about 55, and 80 gigs for like 58 on newegg, i got 4 300 gig hard drives comming for only $147 a piece, which is a totally kick ass deal, ~ $.50 a gig, id get nothing less than a 250 gig hard drive, the interface changs the price by like $2. from ATA 133 to SATA is like no difference in $$ but if you have the ports get SATA.

    FYI newegg is getting Hitachi Deskstar 500 gig drives in on 8/2 for ~$350

    250gig
