If I were you, I would check out Staples, and Best Buy, as I believe they are much lower in terms of pricing. I saw many drives there for over 175, and even one that was selling at 159, which I know is going for 129 here in Canada at Best Buy. Another web site that was suggested was Buy.com, which is another great source for items of this nature. There was a sale on Terabyte drives for just under 175 last week. Just something you might want to consider. One point I'd like to point out, is that if you go to the larger chain stores like best buy and staples, they get their items at bulk discounts, something smaller stores aren't able to do, so their prices are usually much cheaper. I would also like to point out that you can also get an internal hard drive at a lower price, then purchase a hard drive enclosure for around 22 to 30 dollars, which you then take apart, then place your internal drive inside it, and voila, it becomes an external drive. As you may or may not know, internal drives are usually cheaper than external drives, and they're pretty easy to assemble now a days. You should also be prepared to format the drive before you use it, unless the ad specifically says that it's plug and play and ready for use as soon as you plug it in. This may or may not affect the pricing, depending on where you buy it. Let me know if you have any other questions.
