Absolutley WHITE HOT.

This is an awesome deal.
 
This is a good sign! I'm waiting till 750's and the 1TB drives come down in cost even more. I need 4 or 5 of them :)
 
Yeah, if nothing else, the part # is a giveaway.

Nice deal 1TB for just a few greenbacks more than what 750GB drives normally go for? And with full 3 year warranty (seems to be retail boxed [or at least not just bare drive/nothing else], and unless they've changed WD drives retail are usually 1 year). Cheapest I found (via froogle) for the drives are ~$223 @ ClubIT/ZZF - Newegg had them for ~$200, but they were OB items.

I'd love to get one (or more!) of these puppies, but I have to give my credit & debit cards a rest after spending well over $600 in parts a couple weeks ago.
 
Super great deal.

I just attempted to add 100 items to my cart and it let me...hmmmm.
 
there are 750's around this forum somewhere for $130 -$140. and iirc, they are not "green" variable speed drives.

No, just wanting to see how many they had in stock or would let someone order. Usually if you try to add to many or they have an "unknown limit" it wills top you but none that I saw.
 
damn you, damn you all. This is so tempting...Just like matt fury said I really can replace my 4x320 raid 5 with one of these........aaaaaah

Do I pull the trigger?

Do it and let me know how it goes...mines 4x320 too lol.

Just think...get rid of that big case, go down to a matx.......
 
just make sure you convert to GPT when going over 2 TB on that raid-5 ;)
 
Yeah, I wanna toss my :eek: eleven 250gb WDs in RAID 5 w/ GPT and just get 5 TB RE2 GPs. Smaller case, psu everything and lower power bill! :D
 
Anyone know how well buy.com packs their HD's for shipping? Buddy of mine wants to know before he jumps in on this.
 
Good point, and was it ever resolved as to weather or not these are refurb.

Newegg pisses me off how they package HDDs (although it has been a while since I have ordered one from them) ZZF is much better.
 
I read that these drives that have a special head parking feature to help prevent head damage when shipping. I have bought cavalry products before and never had any problems, (external drives).
 
i disagree, they arent even variable speed. they are one fixed rpm and it doesnt change.

there is a big thread on this in the disk storage systems forum.

these "variable speed" drives, are in fact NOT variable.

If you knew the awnser, then why bother with the stupid question then?
 
Well, they are still variable speed drives, the speed varies from model to model...Hence the name, so that is still what they are.
 
yesterday i just received my order i placed 3 days ago for 3 seagate 1TB drives, and i paid $235 each, now they go and drop the price to $199 ( although with a limit of 1 per person)
I knew that right after i ordered them that the prices would go down on TB drives :rolleyes:

Now I read about these cheaper WD ones here.
Not that i could have bought these anyways since buy.com wont ship to Canada.
And ca.buy.com never has any deals.

oh well at least my seagates have 5 year warrenty.

nice to see prices dropping on TB drives,, too bad it didnt happen a few days ago when i bought mine :(

Model number and Google.com does magic. Yes, these are the green drives, you don't even need to search, the model number is simple enough and only found with the GP.

Sill doesn't beat the Hitachi 7K1000 External Terabyte Drive I got for $141 @ Best Buy around October last year. :D

[$200 - $40 (CC coupon PM) - 12% coupon]

...Of course I end up buying an imported aluminum hard drive enclosure with a heavy import tax that resulted over $100 itself. And later discover they finally sell it here in the US for $40. yup.

Glad you guys are enjoing the deals ;) Good Luck!
