I jumped on this last time, it's a great drive. Really gave my Mac Mini a boost. I've put in 4 or 5 of them in the past 6 months and they've performed awesome every time! Low heat, virtually no noise, and very, very fast

Can anyone validate if any of the old DEG /DTG drives are still available with this new sale? I checked 2 stores with approx 15-20 drives and they are all the newer WHG drives.

I drove all over the Salt Lake valley today, 4 stores, and found the last two. All the rest were WHG. Deal is done here.

oh my god this thing is fast

just upgraded from the seagate 5300.2

I was just shopping for the 200gb on saturday. I cant believe i didnt find this thread earlier.

got the last one in my town too

only screwed up thing is vista backup did not work. just hung before post almost. had to do complete install and move mail over from previous hard drive. it was on the fritz with smart errors. (that will happen when you accidently drop your laptop...from about 2 feet. Lucklily all else is fine. knock on wood.

But this hard drive is really fast.

glad i didnt drive 30 minutes to get a WHG. we saw it in the back. said usb powered lol. I knew we scored.

Man someone already demolished the drums on rock band too. Oh well our monthy trip quota to BB has been met. Used a 10% coupon and got for 117+ tax.

from old drive to new drive vista is reporting 25MB/Sec for 17GB of data.
I still gotta run the hotfixes for vista to get it back up speed.
Really curious why my backup doesnt work.

what a waste of time. it just hangs. it even shows the recovery partition on boot. and then you get blue screen. i gave up after 3 attempts.

I got one in Houston, TX (Willowbrook store). They had at least 5 more 'DTG' models on the shelf.
Thanks for bring this back to the top.

this think is very swift. Very pleased with the HD. 1yr warranty kinda blows. I even used the serial reported from everest. says invalid serial.
