Where is the cheapest place were i can get a...

#1 Post by cmarti » Thu Nov 20, 2008 10:17 am

WD2500BEVE? I am replacing the drive for my T43p and i understand that is the biggest the T43p can take and the cheapest i saw was on Newegg at $79.99USD.
Any other pointers or suggestions? Is there another ATA drive that has also 250GB of storage?

Thanks.

About the same price, free shipping. If you ask me, that's a pretty darn good price.

I saw that too both of them offer free shipping but Newegg service is three days vs Zoomfly which is UPS ground and i think it takes seven days for them to deliver.

You know that you'll be triggering the "2010 error" by installing a WD, right?

At the rate that you're going, your best bet would be a SATA Ultrabay adapter and a 500GB drive...

I already have the SATA adapter the 250gb drive is SATA, you are right but i install programs only in the main drive.
What consumes more space is the games in the main and in the secondary drive I have mostly mp3's like 140GB of only music and some videos.
