waiting for petabyte
i would like several of these so that i can use my 2TB drives as backup, but at $110 more then what i paid for the 2TB drives I can wait.
Local sales tax kills this deal for me. This is the retail version which has a longer warranty than bare bones ones.
That's a whole lotta eggs to be putting in one basket...
Will be below $200 on Black Friday
Both times I've ordered drives from Frys they've been shipped with insufficient packaging and the drives have been DOA. They were in original OEM packaging, but inside a larger cardboard box with a couple of those large plastic air bubbles for padding, clearly not enough to stop the OEM box jumping around inside.
With the last drive, Frys didn't want to accept responsibility and told me to contact the manufacturer about a defective drive, when it was clearly the way they had packaged it. I had to elevate it a few supervisor levels, but they finally agreed to accept a return and refund my money... but they refused to refund what I'd originally paid for shipping, so the net result was that I lost time and some money.
You'd think I would learn after the first attempt, but I won't make the same mistake on the 3rd time.
I'm waiting for the $1/TB barrier to be broken.
re Fredfrugal: this is why I pay a little extra and buy local. My time is my most valuable resource and if there is an issue, I can take it to the local shop then and there for a replacement.
