I wish there was a Frys near me, thats a pretty good deal

WTF is [re]drive ?

WTF the "naturally grown bamboo" has to do with the magnetic plates and other staff?

I'd prefer WD black or green HDs - they will save more energy and produce less pollution than this highly flamable bambo into your.....

anyone has this drive?

That's the lowest price I've seen on 1TB

I hate how they play on the "green" theme. The top panel is wood...but, if you take off that bamboo wood panel, there is still a metal panel underneath...so the wood is just EXTRA material that wouldn't have been there otherwise. Oh yeah...real "green."

I've got the 500GB one that I bought months ago on clearance. It has a WD drive inside, and haven't had any problems with it...although, I've only used it for backups 3-4 times...

Gets warm, though, if it's on for a long time. I can't help but think that the wood is preventing some heat dissipation out the top compared to al all-metal/aluminum construction.

Plus, the wood isn't sanded super super smooth or finished, so it "grabs" onto dust and it's hard to wipe clean.

Not eSATA but "turbo" USB...anyone heard of that?

I just went to frys and this one was not on sale, i got the regular one for 79.99, have back-up 2 computers and it worked fine, the software I had a hard time understanding, was hoping it would make an image of the drives but I dont see how to do it. It will burn an image but not make one unless I am missing something. Plugged into 2 computers and it loaded in seconds and was ready to go. SO far works good.
