I was able to pick up the Western Digital 750GB My Book External HD from my local Best Buy for $55.99.

Best Buy Item #8360793

WD # WDG1U7500N

They are the black boxes with the Green Lids. It's the previous version of WD's My Book, but a 750gb HD for $55.99, I'll take it.

Newegg has the same OEM version HD for $155.

I believe that this deal has been posted elsewhere, but I cannot seem to find it at the moment. Thanks for the reminder, I will need to go by BB tomorrow.

FYI BM only

My local BB had 10 in stock, I bought 4. Even the sales clerk was shocked to see the price, he checked it 3 times. I was in the same store last week and these same drives were $149, so I'm not sure when the price dropped, but I bought them about 3 hours ago. 8:05 pm EST

I would've purchased all 10
I doubt my BB's would have any of these left.
So many people in my area. It's most likely all gone.

I am as well. I've had pretty good luck with the YMMV deals at my local BB. Being a small market store in a relatively small area helps.

According to BB.com this is in stock at my local stores.

I'll check it out tomorrow.

Careful, that link is for a different SKU.

This is the one you want:
SKU: 8360793
UPC: 7 18037 12032 4

I may go back this morning and see if they have any left.

The store I went to has a clearance area, but they only had the 250gb for $75 and 500gb for $80 HD's there, and I saw the 750, but no price listed, that's when I asked the clerk to scan it.

Yes, it's a normal Sata drive, so if you have sata on your mobo you can pull the drive out.
