Deal: SimpleTech 160 GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive $50

Best Buy has too many SimpleTech hard drives. So, they’re clearancing some of them. The 160 GB USB 2.0 hard drive in Red is going for about $50 after using a 10% off coupon.

These make great little Time Machine backup drives… nobody has yet to crack one of them open to find out if there’s a PATA or a SATA drive inside. If it’s PATA, it’ll make a nice MacBook Air drive. If it’s SATA, well, go pop one in a regular MacBook. The SKU is 8293955, but you should find the price already marked down on the hard drive aisle.

Sorry, no link online, Best Buy has already pulled the product from their web site.

Update: I plugged one into Western Digital Diagnostics on a PC. The drive inside is a Western Digital Scorpio SATA 5400 RPM with 8 MB Cache. Not a bad price for such a drive, so go get one!
