PS - I feel your pain Bababooey...my shoulder surgery was $15,000...Luckily I have health insurance, but they don't cover all of it....i think I'll give up snowboarding.

PPS - When the doctors let me fly home I'm going to have to post every extra peripheral/component I've got in the "For Sale" thread...even though I don't have any heat yet, my eBay is 100%...If I was able to help any of you save some dough over the last week please remember me!



Happy Shopping,

"Broken" James

My first post in a couple of years but I needed one of these to backup my laptop and desktop data. Thanks for the info, this deal worked out great.

Now I just need some software to back it up!!!

Buy.com also has the Fantom 250GB drive for ~$80 after rebate. Seems like a better deal the the WD. Anyone know anything about Fantom?

i pulled the trigger and bought two. didnt get the discount, because even though i used a different email address, it appears the GCO is tied into your credit card or shipping address, not email account.

I use one AE card and one debit card so i was sol.

Price came to $191.00 for both. A friend is buying one from me.

Not bad at all.
Thanks.

the reliablity of their drives suck.

mine failed within 3 weeks, and customer service isn't great.

That's pretty hot.

I got the 120GB WD Passport from Costco for $99. Came with a carrying pouch.
I like the size of the Passport.

Well I signed up for google checkout and ordered one of these. Been wanting something to back up my pictures/music/files to in case one of my main two hard drives fail.

Didn't want to spend the money but this seemd like a good deal. thanks again.

im in the same boat as the guy before me. didnt want to spend any money but i've been looking for another hard drive. my 160gb is getting full and i'd like to use it solely for backup purposes and replace it with this one for regular use. i like this deal considering i dont like the decent ($30~) hard drive enclosures.

jumped on this one. thanks jamessb9!

In for one. Thanks OP !
