I bought two to re-organize my archives. Both full in about a week.
About to grab two more. | | | |

WD is Western Digital, I've had a 500GB external for a couple years, it's worked flawlessly and is very quiet.
edit: Andy beat me to it. | | | |

Haha i'm an idiot
I failed to read the entire title. I need to get over there today! Thanks for the heads up. I'm currently using two WD "Mybook" HD's. They've been great. | | | |

Not really overkill because you'll eventually run out of HD space. At that price, I'd grab one or two.

Also, did you see this in a sale paper or what? Is there any print proof of this price? | | | |

actually I don't know..i looked on their website earlier and saw their prices were about the same as sams. So I went there. Then when I intererupted the gang of 6 standing there to ask them if the 1 tb or 2 tb was $121 because they were both labeled the same. They went to check and according to the computer they were $95. Want me to scan and send you a copy?? | | | |

I looked in Best Buys weekly flyer and online and did not see the drives advertised.
I did find them at Fry's for $109.99. Dallas Morning News | Dallas Electronics - Electronics Accessories - Fry's Electronics

Sometimes from my experience is that these types of 'pricing mistakes' happen at one store only. If you have a SKU number that would help greatly. They could just look it up in the computer.
Thanks! I need some more HD space! | | | |

Rob - the diff from your url is that it's for an internal drive. Renae posted it's an external drive. Normally the external drives are about 20-30 more than a bare bones drive. | | | |
