Would this be a good replacement drive

[carol2314]

for a Samsung SIR-S4040R?

The Maxtor Ultra16 300GB IDE Internal Hard Drive, model no. L01R300, costs $139.99. Coupon code "21060584" and this $60 mail-in rebate chop the net price to $59.99. With free shipping, that's $10 off our last mention and the lowest total price we've seen for this drive. It features a 16MB cache and runs at 7200 rpm. Deal ends June 17.

seems like to me it's a good deal. I think I paid about $30 more for for my 300 gig Hitachi

The drive will work fine but the quality of Maxtor drives are horrible...

I've had just as long of a service life from Maxtors as any other brand. That's a heckuva deal, I'd go for it.

I watch for local sales via http://www.salescircular.com/

Make sure the drive is NOT a serial ATA drive - you want/need a EIDE parallel interface drive.

Yup... I have used Samsung drives successfully before...should work fine...
