(Edit: They had White, Blue, and Yellow 1TB My Passport Portable External HDDs on ebay too, same deal.)

I'm thinking that this is how the math goes:

Buy 3x 1TB @ $34.99 ea., or $104.97. Save 20%, so save $20.99. So total should be $83.98, for 3x 1TB portable external HDDs.

Again, normally I wouldn't suggest refurbs, but I was thinking that since these should be mfg tested, they might be a good candidate for storing customer's initial PC image backups, or used for storing backed-up data temporarily, when upgrading machines, and then you could give them the drive. At least, that's what I was thinking, since these are so (relatively) cheap. Should still be better than just a flash drive.

Edit: Also, if you need larger drives, they have a selection of 2TB and 3TB Portable External (refurb) HDDs too, WD on ebay. Those are "Save 14% when you buy more", basically, qty discount, which will be listed for each item listing.

For comparison, here is what I believe is the same drive (in Blue), at BestBuy, for $54.99, marked down from $59.99.

The refurb deal, is less than half the price.

Edit: The "Save 20% when you buy 3+" is dead. It worked for buying multiple colors, add each colored drive to cart, then check out from cart. Now, it's just "Save up to 8% on more", and I don't think you can mix-and-match colors with that deal. Sorry, the original deal is dead.

Edit: Received my drives today. Attached is a CDM benchmark pic.

Edit: Blue and Yellow, are "Save up to 8%". Black is still "Save 20% on 3+", which is, I believe, the best deal on these. Black is back in stock, too. Red too.
