staples-AcomData 320GB Hybrid 3.5" External Hard Drive
It's 150$, with 30$ easy rebate. Final price with taxes is 141$. What you think?

$120 for 320GB is overpriced? Unless you guys bought the 250GB for $100 or the 500GB for $200, I've never seen a 320GB for that price before.
FS has it for $150:

Buy a 320GB 7200.10 Seagate drive and a Vantec Nexstar3 enclosure. Works out to about the same price, and you get a better drive and better enclosure.

I have never seen (heard of) a HD crashing multiple times.
Maybe you need to define what crash means to you.

I thought a HDD crashed once, and that's the end of it. How did it "always crash"?

what i mean is all my memory was lost (couldn't even access to my hd directory), and then there's a pop up which ask me to format my hd again. Sorry that I use the wrong term. Good luck.

The email I just got says $199.99 after rebates.

Take his words as a warning. Many of you don't realize that the case (and its hardware inside) plays an important role in ensuring your data is stored and can be read/played back properly.

I can't believe there's been this many replies and nobody has posted a link.
It's $180 -$30 MIR = $150, at least in the GVR: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/ca...affixedcode=WW
Which makes this deal flat-out cold! Even FS is cheaper

I got this when Futureshop had it on for 149.99 and staples had it for 209.99. I pricematched, and Im still waiting for the rebate. (I dont think they were the same tho, Staples one was better, was hybrid-drive, something like that), either way
So my final price would be 134, with taxes in.
Nice harddrive, quiet, I dont thnk it turns off by itself, not that I have noticed it. Its a WD inside. Comes with a backup software installed, many free programs, opendocument, mozilla, etc
I liked the password protection. Everytime I restart the HDD, it asks for password, then mounts it.
Good price still!
