Yes indeed, and it's a WD so I would grab one fast if I wanted one.

I have one of these and it failed after 4 months, the replacement they sent me is now making a funny clicking noise after 6 months.

Well, it might not be a great deal, but it's not terrible. I've been using the 1TB version for a year, and it's been very reliable.

I got one over a year ago and now its making funny clicking noises. Over course its out of warranty now. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Western Digital

horrible "non-deal", I was able to get this HD at lower price more than a year ago.

This kind of deals happen regularly. If you use 25$ off coupon, it will drop to its actual good price. But, they should decrease the price already to that level, without the need to use a coupon.

Not a good deal. The price should still go down.

This was an OK price for these things six months ago. But now you can easily get storage at nearly half this cost.

should just buy the 1tb, and a sata external casing w/ wires and all, and create your own for like 110. There was a 1tb for 90 somewhere, chip in 20 bucks and you'll have double space for a little more than 30 dollars
