its on clearance at best buy so YMMV. I picked up 1 from reno,nv some people on FW are saying they could even use the bb 10% coupon with this. sku is 7821967
 
IIRC, retail WDC drives only offer a 1yr. warranty vs. 3 years for their OEM drives.

Just a heads up ...

(If true, ClubIt, NE, and Micro Center all have the OEM 500GB drive for $99 or less)
 
I recall reading somewhere that WD had upped warranty for retail drives from 1 to 3 years, think it was a thread on AT General hardware

yup 3 years now, so not a bad deal, i have a 16 month old retail WDSE and it is out of warranty, they only started the 3 year warranty for all drives a little while ago.


directly from warranty page: Effective for products purchased since August 1st, 2007. Drives purchased previously have 1 year warranty

I don't even bother with BB deals. They are always BiG YMMV.
Having said that, your store probably has 200 of these for $30 each 😛.

 
Grabbed one in Greensboro, NC...Put together a Winders Home Server box...Usin' it for backin' up schtuff now...
 
Yea the thing about BB is that some stores will have something on clearance and others won't. The store close to me had a $2500 sony Bravia like 42" TV on sale for $1000 with an offer of a free $200 blu-ray player on it. It was the display model, so they were selling it cheap as crap.
 
I picked two of these up in Lake Forest, Ca. Although the store tags say these are the WD5000KSRTL models, they are in fact the WD5000AAKS models... the ones I bought were the last two left!

Hmmm, I bought two of these at the Dedham,MA BB about a week ago and they were the more expensive WD5000KSRTL model.

My post was SO exciting I decided to do it twice!

So, while we're here...any good deals on enclosures? Preferably quiet, SATA/PATA combos?
 
Bah! Just drove out to my Best Buy for nothing. Checked for this HD and they had nada, not even a WD 500gb sata spot.
Also looked for that infamous 22" Samsung for $160 and again nothing. However they did have the Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse
combo. I did have the ad for Staples but I didnt feel like screwin arround
