Link to 5TB: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expans...ds=seagate+5tb Link to 4TB: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expans...ds=seagate+4tb I agree that the 1 year warranty is pretty scary. I'd personally get this only if I needed it right now. Otherwise hopefully Black Friday will bring...

Amazon - Seagate Expansion External HD 5TB - $169.99, 4TB - $129.93 Warm at $34/TB for 5GB, $32.50/TB for 4TB. Warranty is only 1 year. Hopefully this is a good sign for Black Friday <$30/TB deals!

Sadly, the rumor about Samsung is true. Latest news is that they're shutting down the production on Nov 30, 2014 and the top of the line F8500's are getting hard to find. Panasonic stopped plasma production earlier this year. Last year's ZT60 and VT60 are already commanding premium prices...

I've seen Amazon do that. Clear your cookies and logoff if you're logged in. It may change. I've suspect that there's some realtime tracking of inquiries / orders that adjusts based on how busy it is. Price is at $149.00 now. Boo...but the 3TB is at 99.99 now. Not bad if you live without the...

Stumbled across this today @ Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Backup...3&amp;keywords=6tb Hot Deal! Better than any Black Friday offer I've seen!

Aloha All, Found this as a Temporary Price Cut at my local Target (Honolulu, HI). Temporary Price Cut is listed as 2/26 - 3/24, but it probably won't that long. It's not on the Target website, so B&M only. It's on backorder at seagate.com, so I suspect it's going to be, if not already...

Aloha All, Arghh...title should be $101 - $103! Not the cheapest 2TB External HDs, but they have a 3 year warranty when registered, so may be worth the extra $10 - $20 for an extra year's warranty. Good overall reviews (Amazon and other sources). I ordered two Prestige drives and...

I don't mean to sound like a shill for videohelp.com, but I highly recommend this site for any questions about CD/DVD media. Maxell's used to be highly regarded media, but have changed to outsourcing their manufacturing, resulting in some very poorly rated media (i.e. CMC, Prodisc, Ritek)...

I went into more detail in this post, but Yes, all Verbatim DVDs are considered top quality (second possibly only to Taiyo Yuden). Highly recommended for any CD/DVD related questions (not only about media) is videohelp.com. Fair warning...do a search for your question before posting. The...

Sorry for the late post...but for the few hours left today (2/18 President's Day), BB has Free Shipping on cases and lots of other items. I read about this on Sunday, but couldn't get it to show up until a few minutes ago. I just placed my order and it showed up as Free Shipping to Hawaii (a...

AFAIK, OEM Vista is 32 or 64bit only. One version only for OEM. Assume OEM versions are 32bit only unless 64bit only is specified. (e.g. Link to Newegg's OEM Vista pages). I tried to use my OEM Vista Business key (Newegg purchase) for a 64bit alternate verison at Microsoft and it didn't...

Taiyo Yuden Verbatim is only available in select European countries. AFAIK, Taiyo Yuden is still strictly a Japan only manufacturing plant. Here in the U.S., Verbatims may be made in Singapore, Taiwan or most recently India. All Verbatim discs (except for Taiyo Yuden) will bear a MCC...

Aloha All... Longtime lunker finally able to contribute something this great forum! Stumbled across this while looking for a cheap PCI-E card for my secondary PC. 3DFuzion 6200LE 128MB Graphic Card PCI-Express with $25.00 rebate at Frys.com and Buy.com $34.99 (have to add to cart to...
