Bummer! I bought the comparable Casio on Friday for $137.

Using 'comparable' and 'Casio' in the same sentence seems like an oxymoron.

$139 with free prime shipping on Amazon. Decent reviews for a HDD (they all seem to get lower ratings that other types of electronic items). ~3.5 out of 5 stars.

@pleepleus: Sorry, I meant "Canvio" not "Casio", Canvio is by Toshiba.

Comparable? I didn't know Western Digital made musical keyboards and cheap watches? ;-)

Why, oh why, doesn't this have an ethernet port?!?! Wanting a NAS drive.

Running two 2TB WD externals and a 6TB WD external "Cloud" drive right now, never had so much as a single glitch from any of them. 2TBs have run non-stop for over a year, 6TB for the last 7 months, all have survived multiple "power blips" so common in my area - could not recommend these any more highly.

I bought this last time it came up here (a month ago?) and it's fine so far though I do hear some clicking from it. Should I be worried?

This also makes the cheapest price for an internal hard drive. So buy one, take it out of the enclosure, and you have a brand new internal hard drive.

And then you can put your old hard drive into the enclosure and still have an external hard drive out of the deal.

USB 3, right. ~ 200 MB/sec throughput? No? WHY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

friend and I had these and they stopped working with windows7 computers. I sent it in, they sent me another, again didn't work right. The enclosure has some hardware 'security' module for the encryption/password.

So removed it, bought a cheapo usb/esata enclosure, and it's worked fine since, even in extreme Afghani dust for a year.

@pleepleus: I did not understand! Why oxymoron! Casio with same/similar specs!

@omnichad: Question is, how good is the drive? I can't speak for this but 2.5" externals routinely have capacities larger than any internal drive currently on the market which would suggest that someone's cutting corners.

bogus bogus

@bogus: It's because the biggest 2.5 externals use the thicker 12.5-13.5mm drives that allow room for an additional platter. But, these don't fit in the 9.5mm slots in most laptops.

@bogus: Where did you see 2.5"? This drive is 3.5" just like a regular desktop HDD.

@birniei: Nice, but sold out, and the 2TB version is still $170+.

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.
