250 gig HD's?

Anyone know of any deals better than 200.00 for 250 gig drives? We're taking all of our 100 gig drives out of our server and replacing them with 250's, and it adds up really quick.

Pricewatch couldn't match some of the deals you guys posted. I ended up buying from Sams, just had to get a bunch of names/numbers from friends.
If the Pricewatch dealer isn't reputable...I don't care about the cost, I won't buy.
Thanks for all the help guys, we bought a bunch of em' today. Looks like Tuesday is a"build a server" day.

Spot, you might need to set your bios and OS for 48 LBA mode so you can use over 137gb drives. A guy on the newsgroups didn't set this and he was able to transfer files to the HD but it corrupted his avi files. Wrap around write I would think.
Here is a page with some info if you need.

The only thing I can add to this is try salescircular dot com. This will give you all the sunday newspaper sales for your major electronics stores for each state, including 'free after rebate' items. You can find some good deals here from time to time.

I didn't read the entire thread, so if this a repeat...
You should email chienworks. Somehow he is always posting good deals on hard drives.
