Did another inventory check (at a OD kiosk) and price changed for the 1TB to 99.99. o_O 2TB still $68.92.

Thanks for the heads up on this deal. No 2TB's but I scored 3 1TB's. 3 @ $52.93, - $10 off $30, - $11.42 in Office Depot rewards. With tax $149.35, or $49.78 each. By the way, don't bother checking in Arlington or Fort Woth TX, I bought the last 3.

By the way, has anyone opened up a 1TB yet to see which drive is inside? I've got to figure out and order an NASD before I open the box.

Use HDD guru to get the ID if you really don't want to open the enclosure

Just picked up two of these from the San Jose OD and just pulled the drive from one of them. $68 each! I can confirm that is has this hard drive in it.

$68 external hard drive with a $260 internal drive inside.... so sweet! This video shows you how to open it, it works for the xl2000 as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nerXTad7_KQ After removing the front bezel and two screws the two pieces slide apart. Dont try and pull them away from each other as you will most likely break the plastic hooks. Just slide the two pieces in opposite directions.
