I say Anitec.... they're really good when it comes to holding your hand and suggesting things.

Laptop hardrive stores in Vancouver
I need a hard drive and I am new to Vancouver, BC so I do not know where to look. Any advice please?

+1 for ncix since they have multiple convenient locations (after pricematch). I usually use Anitec or directcanada.com for great PM pricing online.

Ditto to the previous posts.
NCIX, you have to place the order and wait for them to get it.
Anitec is set up like a retail store, and you can browse shelves and pick up what you want to buy, although I'm not sure about 2.5" HDDs. Reply With Quote

Went there last Saturday && they have 2.5'' drives on display in these plastic-ky boxes. Reply With Quote

Apr 3rd, 2008 12:14 AM #7I just picked up two Fujitsu 80GB 2.5" drives ($50 bucks each!) at Anitec. Walk in, pick up, pay, walk out. 4 minutes total.

Last week I tried to do the same at NCIX. Waited 30 minutes in line (for a stupid NIC), and got attitude as a bonus!

Let me guess, you went to the Burnaby location Originally Posted by johnson_w

? Attitude comes free at NCIX 
Anitec is (maybe was since I did ISPU twice during the first 3 months of their new store opening) garbage when it comes to internet order pickups from my experience. Disorganised and I had to hail a rep as they didn't have a dedicated online pickup area._______________

Yeah I complained about that to them too. It actually changed a couple months back. They now have a dedicated pick up at the front counter.Disorganised and I had to hail a rep as they didn't have a dedicated online pickup area.
Though I still think their online order processing time could be better...Last edited by johnson_w; Apr 3rd, 2008 at 11:03 PM. Reason: Typo

When I pick up online orders at the Vancouver branch, I'm in and out in 5 minutes tops. If you buy it on the spot, you have to take a number.

I've had good experiences with the Vancouver store as well (except if you go on a Saturday, then it's hella busy). It seems the Burnaby store has always been the problematic one. Originally Posted by Amourek
