    I just ordered the Netgear NAS with a second harddrive like 2 hours ago. I was looking everywhere for a deal on a 1 TerrorByte drive. Dammit.

    I have heard this dealer may not be very reputable. I've never done business with them (or whatever they may have been called a week ago) so do your own research.

    Ehhh... it's not hard to cancel and order especially if it was 2 hours ago.

    #4, the order was from newegg, whom I trust enough, and the are running a combo deal with $112 off the NAS (which comes with a 1 TerrorByte disk) when ordered with another 1 Terror Byte Seagate drive, but I might have ordered a different NAS and ordered 2 of these. But I kinda need all this stuff in the next couple of days, and I may save a couple of dollars max. Would have been nice to have the option though.

    resellerratings.com apparently has never heard of GoHardDrive.com. Is that scary or what?

    From what i hear, goharddrive.com used to be eaglebit.com or maybe a spinoff... Anyways, they have the same mailing list...

    this website is run by eaglebit.com or likely affiliated, or something. i havent had problems with them. somehow eaglebit sent me an email about gohardrive.com

    probably got this name cause they themselves had a bad rep.

    Does Samsung make any type of harddrive that is manufactured for long life? I'd rather spend a little more money and get a drive with an MTBF longer than the typical drive.

    why would anyone do this deal when the seagate, 5yr warrenty HDD from dell for $110 is still available?

    hmm
    (samsung 3yr warrenty) vs (seagate 5yr for $50 less. )

    tough choice.
