NewEgg.com has the Acomdata 1TB pureDrive Dual Interface (USB 2.0 & eSATA) External Hard Drive for $154 + $0 shipping = $154 shipped. The design dissipates heat so efficiently it doesn't need a fan.

    I like the idea of a full TB but without a cooling fan, I'll bet it has heat issues.

    I have about 7 drives in these external fanless cases and have never had an issue with heat. Just fyi.

    If you look at the reviews posted on Newegg, some people do complain about the heat. With 1TB of data you may want a better drive.

    If it has good PowerSafe funstion, fan isn't essential
    If it has WD GreenPower drive inside, you are OK

    WD GreenPower creates only half of the heat, stupid Segate 400GB creates
