169.99-14=155+tax

Not as cheap as the Dell deal for 149 BUT you get 5yr warranty instead of 1 and you get the USB + esata for those who haven't stepped up to the esata yet and those with laptops. YMMV since they will argue you have to call in to have it shipped to the store (although its free to do so). Anyone else experience a lot of heat issues with this drive though? I heard some tech guys at FS actually burned their hands on the case.

i thought the one on sale last week at NCIX for $140 only has USB. This one has both USB and esata. Correct me if i'm wrong.

esata provides the 3.0GB/s connection. essentially transfer will be as fast as an internal drive. you comp has to have a esata port though. reason i like it is bc i can use it as esata at home but still be able to bring it around and use USB if someones machine doesnt support esata.

This is all assuming FS will PM some place called INFONEC..... about as likely as when Hell freezes over.

I got the 139$ one from NCIX and it's fine.

Not bad at all, I think this would be excuse to get one to try with my new board as it has esata on it...(Asus P5k Deluxe WiFi AP).

Yeah, I doubt that Future Shop with PM with Infonec especially out here in Vancouver but I will just wait for NCIX to have a special on the eSata model.

Speed is a good thing and USB2 just doesn't cut it when transferring huge image files...

[aleksandar_2000]

nice deal but if FS does PM than they will include shipping charges as well (15$ as stated on the site)
