No sense in waiting till black friday.
This is the deal I got.
$150 + $7 shipping - 5% fatwallet cashback - 5% live cashback - $25 ebillme rebate = about $117 shipped. This deal is still valid I believe.
You can't beat 1500 gigs for $117, that is 7.8 cents per gig.
And it will not be any lower black friday than that i'm pretty sure.
There's the 2 hitachi 1 TB drives for $152 deal, which comes out to 7.6 cents per gig, but you'll have to use up 2 bays for that and it's older technology. Hitachis are the first gen 1 TB drives. If you don't mind using up 2 bays, but getting more space and a slower drive at a cheaper price, go for it.
