Apply coupon ?PC$DGG9R7VKMM for 5% off.

Total price should be $113.99, Free Shipping, applicable sales tax.

Honestly, price is good, but I can't get that sale Dell had these for $83 out of my head. Newegg has them for $125 right now but in terms of gb/$, 7.6cents per gb isn't shabby.

I purchased 3 of these back when Dell had these for $83. All of them came with current firmware and I've had zero problems with any of these drives using them as external media storage.

Costco has the external version for $109.99

Almost worth it to buy the external version and rip it our of the enclosure for internal use. Granted this would void the warranty.

yes... that is the problem.

I doubt it would void the warranty since the stickers are on the drive itself.

Is the access speed a lot faster with SATA than with USB? I wonder what the trade-offs are, one over the other.
