Plug in and it works (win 7 - 64)

A bit heavier than the other external hard drives I have.

I would assume the enclosure has some metal-ish component to help with cooling?


amazon is so much faster than NCIX (expected since they are online selling only).

My amazon order on 26th arrived today
but NCIX order on 25th is not even processed yet
Got mine this afternoon as well. My dad was at home to receive it. So wasn't an issue.

HOWEVER there is one problem though. I opened up the packaging to examine the HDD itself and there's a tiny scratch/tiny dent on the casing itself. Do I call up Amazon and let them know? Or do I contact Seagate? Also would I have to send the HDD back?

There is no WD red at ME at all, maybe they removed it ? i was willing to PM it :(

EDIT: search for 3tb and i found it: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX40404

EDIT2: i let you know if the PM works :)

Well Amazon had a Seagate 2TB USB 3.0 external on Boxing Day for a lightning price of $69.99. Might be on sale for $79.99 or gone up. However they have the 3TB for $109.99. They are 3.5 versions by the way.

Edit : Looks like the 2TB went up in price: http://www.amazon.ca/Seagate-Expansion- ... 498&sr=8-1

Even the 3TB as well: http://www.amazon.ca/Seagate-Backup-Des ... 886&sr=8-1

Sorry, cannot think of anything else at the moment.

Anybody know what hard drive is in the $119 FS/BB 3TB WD? Seems a lot faster than I would've expected (see my speed below reported through Win 7 from the SSD).

Tried copying from my storage 2TB Hitachi 5400RPM drive and it slowed to 75MB/s on a 4GB movie rip. From my SSD it copied at 135MB/s on the same movie. With speeds like this through USB3.0, makes the argument much stronger now for externals over internals.

What's the lowest price anyone has seen for 4TB externals(single disk)?
I see a bunch for $199.99, has anyone seen lower? I'd love to pick up a couple 4TB drives for around $150 each.

Thanks for the info! Guess I will wait til it hits $150 one day.

Anyways, here is a hard drive deal that I think warrants a mention.

Posted by eladmk in a hard drive thread in the hot deals forum:

BestBuy.ca has a WD My Book 3TB External Drive for $129.99.
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/wd- ... e687feen02
Use promo code: extrasavings to bring the cost down to $110.49

MemoryExpress has the same drive for $149.99
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX31783
Price Match at Memory Express with Best Buy's $110.49 price(make sure to mention the promotional code) and it brings the cost down to $100.61!
Make sure to price match BestBuy's free shipping offer to save the extra $4.99!

Still lots of online stock according to Memory Express.

I'm suprised no one posted (for reference) the $90 Toshiba 3TB 7200rpm 3.5" internal drive deal NCIX had during their boxing sale last week. $30/TB especially for 7200rpm is the best deal I've seen in more than 2 or 3yrs. I read other RFDers post that it's a rebranded good Hitachi drive too.
