cool but still more expensive than 2tb hd's out there albeit 4 of these 7200rpms drives would make a nice raid 0.

Ehh, four "factory recertified" hard drives in a striped RAID 0 set seems like asking for trouble.

@trevorsg: So get four and do RAID 10 (or, for you storage purists out there, RAID 0 + 1). IMHO, Raid-0 is ALWAYS asking for trouble.

I have a 500 GB refurb Seagate (7200.10) from a long ago Woot-Off that has yet to fail me.

They're Seagates. They're junk. Why do you think there are so many Seagate refurbs for sale?

they re-FURRED them. They are better on the outside now.

@durkzilla: Ditto on the RAID 0 comment. RAID 0 seems like an oxymoron to me: there's no redundancy. And RAID 1 is barely better: if you're going to halve your storage capacity, you're better off doing continuous backups.

isn't geeks.com the website that always gets their customers identity stolen? I think they constantly get hacked and their customer information gets stolen. I wouldn't shop there.

Refurb HDs are for suckers

So you need to buy four in order to get free shipping. Nah.

@polie: $35 is more expensive than a 2tb drive? Link please, I need to buy a big hard drive soon.

The .11 firmware is garbage that is why there are so many of these drives...not worth the trouble!

@kirika: Probably meant per megabyte. Theres quite a few 2tb drives going for around 90-100$ which is 4.5-5 cents per mb vs this which would be 7 cents with shipping.

Unless I'm running RAID I try to stick to the 500mb-1TB drives just in case they fail - I'm not losing 2TB worth of data.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
