| 1283244 | 2012-06-21 11:17:00 | Anyone jump on the Dickie 7-8pm sale of a WD 2TB ext drive for $99? Now, that is/was a REAL bargain. Wish I hadn't bought the Seagate ($139) now! Even for the same price I would take the WD. Seems like it's a mad rush to clear USB 2.o drives out. Or, perhaps, a mad rush to balance the books!! |

| 1283247 | 2012-06-21 20:34:00 | OK, I won't quote you, but I find the idea totally credible. On the other hand, with HDD based TV recording devices selling like crazy across the globe, I'm very surprised the 'shortage' didn't have far greater impact on prices and availability of HDD kit everywhere. |

| 1283249 | 2012-06-21 23:39:00 | At the moment I have more storage space than I need so I decided not to buy it. I also noted that it was a USB 2 device. My computer is USB 3 capable. | Bobh (5192) | ||
