Since 1saleaday moved to Florida (from Brooklyn) a few months ago I have been experiencing terrible shipping problems. They often don't ship until 2-3 weeks after the sale.

Not sure if anyone is a DirecTV customer, but you can connect this to your HD-DVR if you are one. Just shut down your receiver and connect the drive to the back using eSata ONLY (will not work through USB). Boot up the drive and wait a couple of seconds. Then boot up your receiver. Your DTV receiver will format the drive and give you additional space.

This will BYPASS your internal drive, so anything you currently have recorded you will not see on the new drive. If you want to see the stuff on your internal drive just shut down the receiver again and unplug this external drive. Boot the receiver back up and you're good to view your other stuff.

I was replacing drives every year until I picked up an enclosure that had fans in it like this one. Now I don't have any issues.

I have a couple of these drives. They work very well! The fans are nice and quiet and do their job. I do wish that installation was a little easier (something I could open up by hand to swap drives from time to time), but if you're just looking to connect another hard drive outside of the case and don't plan to be swapping drives a lot, this one is exactly what you want (assuming you want USB2 or eSATA). Also note that if you're using this in a desktop PC that doesn't have eSATA, this comes with a rear bracket. Plug the internal SATA cable into a free SATA port and presto! You have eSATA.

As for 1saleaday, they're not horrible. Just don't expect you order any time soon. Orders often take 2-3 weeks. I've ordered quite a few items from them. I've always gotten my items and haven't had any problems. They're just slow. If you want fast, you'll have to pay more and get it from some place like Amazon or Newegg.

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.
