Seagate 1T Drives: $65
There seems to be many ads this week for Terabyte storage drives. Target had WD 1T and 2T drives for something like $85.
Staples on-line only (free ship to store) has Seagate 1T drives for $81.99 (there is a $17 coupon for good for up to 10 drives applied during checkout) resulting in the $65.

JR: the ones mentioned are the USB external storage drives for massive amounts of data (picture) storage not internal HD, does that change the opinion of them?

I just picked up a LaCie 2tb External for $125....I had good luck w/ a 2Tb Lacie in the past so I picked up another one......their customer service is also very good. I had a drive fail in my external before and they shipped me a new external drive instead of fixing my old.
Works well for what I'm using it for.

Sorry - didn't see external  . They use the same drives inside external ones as well. I have a Seagate Freeagent 1TB external that is mediocre at best and has had to be reformatted a few times due to errors.
Much better off with WD externals too. |
