Good drive. Super fast. Once you go USB 3 you never go back.

I've had this drive for several months. It was $120 when I got it but it looks like it will be a while before the prices come back down from the "shortage". Good deal relatively speaking. It was around $200 when I checked around Christmas time.

@syninthecity: Sadly, if your going to avoid a drive because of failure you won't buy any HDD's. Quality control in the last couple of years has gone in the toilet! I've had more HDD's fail in the last 2 years (from WD, Seagate, and Hitachi) then I have had in the previous 15 yrs.

@bigcheeze: Which is why I buy two (one main and one backup) and have on-line backup as well.

HDD usually have failure because of a corrupt directory. Luckily I have a program that rebuilds the directory and saves all my stuff.

@bigcheeze: +++++++++++++

Ever since they hit the 1GB+ level reliability is just gone. It's sad. Seagate once a solid brand is just complete and utter garbage. I can only assume they've really cheaped out on some essentials parts for the past few years OR the technology which enable 1GB+ is just too immature. Either way reliability imho just isnt what it used to be.

Btw why are 1GB drives back down to $60 again? Why do I have the feeling that we will never see pre-flood drive prices again. I really should have stocked up when they were so cheap. Oh well.

@mesostinky: I think you mean 1TB - not 1GB.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

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.
