    Looking for several *new* hard drives with PATA - parallel IDE - interface, thinking Samsung HM160HC that work so well. What is the best price on these today?

    Found for $59.99 + $0.99 shipping at Newegg.com
    Mwave.com was cheaper before ~$51 but now they are ~$59 and out of stock :(
    Several on eBay ~$55 supposedly "new" but always more risk on eBay than regular eStore ....

    What's the best deal out there right now?

    I was able to buy them for $49.99 with free shipping from an ebay online retailer... But zipzoomfly.com and TigerDirect.com and a few others sometimes run specials on them... If you can find $55 shipped... Get it!

    EDIT: I just looked at my usuals... $59+ shipping...
