What about COURTESY?

No thread crapping. If the subject matter of a deal does not interest you, do not post negative comments about it, or about other members, in the thread.

Possibly the worst examples we have had of this have been in posts for free religious items, such as bibles, etc. If you want to discuss religion, or any other such non-computer topic, do it in our Off Topic forum. The discussions in that forum cover a wide range of topics, but needless flaming and rude, mean-spirited posts are not welcome there, either.

Stick to discussing the deal. Do not post needless rude or trivial comments about someone else's posts. Flaming can only hurt someone's feelings. Nuisance posts, such as "In before the lock," "IBTL" or other needless bumps just recycle bad threads and force good ones off the first page of the forum.

Think before you post. Rude posts can kill a good deal. For example, posts for deals on sexually related items such as condoms and lubricants are ok, but if others cannot refrain from posting lewd or childish remarks, that would be reason to lock or delete the thread.


You're an idiot...do you have a sense of humor @ all?

From WD's site:

All Western Digital-branded retail hard drive kits, with the exception of WD Raptor drives, carry a Standard Warranty Period of one (1) year unless indicated otherwise on the package. Western Digital-branded WD Raptor retail hard drive kits carry a Standard Warranty Period of five (5) years.

Western Digital Hard Drives (not purchased as part of a retail hard drive kit)
WD Caviar® and WD Protégé® EIDE hard drives carry a Standard Warranty Period of one (1) year. WD Scorpio?, WD Caviar® SE EIDE, and WD Caviar® SE SATA hard drives carry a Standard Warranty Period of three (3) years. WD Raptor? Enterprise SATA hard drives carry a Standard Warranty Period of five (5) years. Western Digital external hard drives carry a Standard Warranty Period of one (1) year.

The period commences from the date of manufacture appearing on the Product label of the original Product purchase

In other words, it's less than a 1 year warranty since they commence on the date of manufacture and not the date of purchase.

thanks for quoting me, let me just clarify I meant "don't take advice from just any random person, only from sources you trust". Hope this helps, otherwise I recommend reading comprehension course

If it weren't for the 1 per household I'd have ordered two, but I guess one will due for now. Guess I could order another and have the rebate sent to a friends house or something. Nice deal.

You can pay an additional $20 or so to extend the warranty (through WD) to three years too, if that concerns you.

There was a period of time when WD made both BB and FDB drives, but that transition period is long over. Unless you get a really old drive, they're all FDB now. Best Buy seems to move a lot of these WD drives, so the chances of finding an old drive at Best Buy is a lot smaller than, say, OfficeMax.

My WD Ball Bearing drives were very noisy. The WD FDB drives are a vast improvement - much quieter in comparison.

The deal is good but the title isn't necessary and neither was czech09's remark. Teenaged boys aren't the only participants here. And I DO have a sense of humor which, thankfully, doesn't include remarks about the hotness of anyone's sisters or mothers. Especially since those sisters and/or mothers could be reading this.

For those interested in WD warranty timing, I returned one of these for warranty replacement last month. Their standard retail package warranty expires one year from the manufacture date + 60 days on their online RMA system. If you fax them your purchase receipt, they will adjust to 1 yr. from the purchase date if that's helpful (it was for me). Warranty service was prompt - a lot more so than their rebates.

Exactly. the manufacture date + 60 days only applies if you cannot provide a receipt. With a receipt it's 1 year from the date of pourchase regardlessw of date of manufacture.

Thanks OP Great deal. I got one at a B&M today. Both rebates printed at the register.

FYI...the manufacture dates on all the drives in the store (this model anyway) were in 2005. So, if WD uses FDB now, then all these drives should be FDB models.
