[grandeCC]

You may want to do a low level format (HDD guru) prior using them.

Easy to open up and remove the drive?

HOW TO by Mr.Dan e TexRUs

Pop out the frt faceplate, it says (HITATCHI) with (I used a small jacknife blade).

Will you look e that, 2 screws...remove!

Holding the unit flat in your hand so as your reading the word Hitachi on the right.

Push down and back on the top side of the case, liftup and your looking e your hardrive...

There are 4 screws holding your drive down and 2 holding the control board.

Remove Them!

Lift the metal case out of plastic case.

Remove the 6 screws holding the plastic side rails.

Lift the hardrive out of the metal case.

You now have a removeable/replaceable drive and / or reuseable enclosure!

0f course you voided your warranty by doing so but oh Well, What the HELL!!!

Thanks for the deal. I'll check my BM stores out. But putting the SKU online says for delivery only.

Wow, that's a smokin' deal on either the 1TB or 2TB, especially with these inflated prices. If we can take out the drive and use internally, really nice. Is there anything we're missing here?

Yes. We are missing the drives so we can buy them. Any clearance is hard to find in stores.

A friend of mine just got 1TB with the $10 off $30 i Montebello, So CAL. There're a couple more 1TB disks - no more 2TB.

OOS in the Lexington KY area.

I just went 2 stores and they don't even have any Hitachi brand drives. That's in Fullerton, CA 92833

 

[hondaf17]

I just snagged a 2TB from downtown Minneapolis for $63 after tax and after coupon. Last one they had. Awesome deal. THANKS a ton to grandeCC!!

I am planning to use this drive as an internal drive for a budget general use PC I'm building for my brother. No reason this won't work as a solid internal drive, is there?

Typically the only major down side to using external drives as internal drives is that it only comes with a 1 year warranty. That said, if there is any warranty seal on the case its voided as soon as you break it.

supposedly Hitachi is the only vendor that warranties the pulled drive from their external cases. Honestly, replacement cost is an issue but data loss always seems to weigh more heavily.

None in Signal Hill, CA when I checked 2 weeks ago. I've been trying not to buy the Seagate deals that still pop up recently, just not happy with their track record.

 

[longtimereader]

Thanks for the heads up. I nabbed the 2TB for 58.92 plus tax.

Thanks for the officemax $10 off of $30 cupon!

The Los Gatos CA OfficeDepot had 5 left and I picked one up.

15166 Los Gatos Blvd, Los Gatos, CA
(408) 356-3757

2TB SKU is: 715299

Just call and ask for them to check if they have any of that sku available.

Edit: I already have poped the drive open. It indeed is the HITACHI Deskstar 7K3000 HDS723020BLA642 (0f12115) 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s for $260 plus tax and shipping at newegg. What a deal. Thanks for saving me more than $200!

Crap... too late for my stores, in the website are going for twice. Any one would like to help me buying one and I'll pay shipping?

 

[mleejr]

Office Depot? Went there today and I might as well asked for a martian. They had no idea what I was talking about.

What you would want to do is take the sku# and ask them to do a stock check on it. Also I think they can do store stock check from within its district.

I've just set up the online RMA and sent bare drives anyway (without the case.) I've never had an issue with Seagate, Hitachi or Western Digital. And if they did, I'd bitch and ask them if they were going to recover my data for free?

 

[Infrnl]

what happened to the coupons? also what is the sku for the 1tb drive? Thanks

Pretty outstanding deal on both of those. Clearance price is well below OD's cost.

 

[bguile]

Thanks OP.

 

[JuanRodriguez]
