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.

oops my bad. I only see the 1.5 TB drives for $99.99 at Best Buy.
Western Digital - WD Elements 1.5TB External USB 2.0 Hard Drive - WDBAAU0015HBK-NESN

Fry's has a 2 TB Hitachi for $99.99
Dallas Morning News | Dallas Electronics - Electronics Accessories - Fry's Electronics

I usually just buy internal drives, less clutter on the desktop.
