Thanks smitbret and casagw below.

Excellent price for an external.

 

[smitbret]

You can get it at CostCo for the same price, locally, too.

 

[dodger2020]

$119 now. The 2TB is $99 (probably because it's from 17th st photo and not amazon direct now)

 

[lupi]

Gonna stop by and pick one up, still using just a 500gb that is now well over half full.

 

[casagw]

Alive again from Amazon, but it says it takes an additional 1-2 days to process.

 

[smitbret]

Except it's at NewEgg with promo code: EMCXNVR25

FUCK! DAMNIT! I was waiting until it arrived on newegg at this price because it's actually $100 on newegg. No shipping, no tax. And I have a giftcard for exactly $100. And it's already sold out. Bastards...

 

[Ricochet]

^Shows in stock for me.

 

[DooKey]

Great deal.

It went back in stock. I hope I can snag one when I come back from work.

 

[Ricochet]

Now it shows OOS. As already mentioned, if you have a local Costco you can still get in on the deal (with tax of course).

I had a $30 newegg credit sitting around so got one for $76 after tax.

Anyone know what hdd is actually in this? Been looking but can't find the answer. Been looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148844 and if I can save $50 that would be nice

Both have the same 2 year warranty so it's likely they are the same drive. Just my guess though.

judging from reviews it's 5900 RPM which is actually a 7200 RPM which was re-flashed to 5900 RPM to reduce heat and chances of breaking.. It's an ok drive, but nothing to write home about. Either way, who cares... you got 2 years warranty. It will most likely die on you during this time. You'll pay around $10-16 to ship it back, and you'll get a refurb which will hopefully work fine.

My experience with Seagate products was always mostly positive. I only ever had 1 drive out of 4 die on me, and the refurb I got back has been working like a champ. Screw them for giving me a refurb, when I originally paid for a new one, but hey... Should accept that fact when buying from this company.

I'm starting to realize that I will never delete anything in my life. I just keep getting larger drives.

I really should start cleaning house, I have tons of files dating back to 2000, I'm even doing weekly backups of them. I don't even know why I have them, but I've never had a reason to delete them so I just keep hoarding lol.

Here is the link to the same item on Amazon in case the newegg runs out.

 

[Alamat]

Got one. Tnx OP!

 

[TheAdvocate]

I haven't had time to research these. I have an old 250MB WD backup from years and years ago. Looking for something that is plugin then drag and drop for my wife to store pictures & video. She doesn't like the current setup. Is this one like that?

 

[SheHateMe]

Im buyng 3 more on Payday. Can't wait to get my NAS going. Going to have tons of drives now! They are easy to free from the enclosure and seem to last a lot longer than they would if you left them in there.


All depends on whether or not they are going to be in stock then. Can't imagine NE having a deal that ends in a week and not having it in stock. That would be pretty lame.

I bought one of these several months ago and switched the 3TB drive w/ a 1TB Samsung. --- using the 3TB as an internal data drive and the external as a backup.
