Newegg.ca has another good Shell Shocker deal today! Those of you looking for a roomy external hard drive will want to check out the Samsung Story Station 1.5TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive HX-DU015EB - Retail for $103.99. Shipping comes out to a reasonable $4.99. This isn't far off Newegg.ca's Boxing Day pricing ($119.99 with the possibility of 15% cash back via PayPal) and certainly the best we've seen since.

- Is this a good deal anyone? need an external HDD for storage..
- sz1999
- and if I get this delivered to a U.S. border down [EDIT: I meant town], the breakdown will be:
  
  $ 99.99 Samsung Story Station 1.5TB
  $ 0.00 UPS Guaranteed 3 Day Service
  $ 0.00 [no tax]
  
  $ 99.99 US Total
  
  so my final total should be around:
  
  $ 99.99 US * $1.02881 CDN = $102.871 CDN + 2% = $104.93 CDN
  
  [currency conversion] /[2% foreign exchange commission]/[duty-free status on hard drives]
  You still need to pay GST at border if you claim, you need to pay extra gas and spend extra time. More hassle IMO.

- Bought this when it was on sale on boxing day. Works great : silent and stays cool.

- That's a weird knob in front.

  Most others have either a push-button or a rocker switch in the back.

- GREAT drive. The USB interface is extremely fast, considering it's only USB 2.0. The included software is actually very usable (I am using it under Win7/x64). As already pointed out, it has been cheaper ($100 + free shipping). The knob just controls the intensity of a white LED that shines downward from the bottom of the unit (and to control power on/off obviously). Otherwise it's a great power saver as it automatically sleeps when no activity is detected. Great for off site backup (I shuttle mine from home to work once a week) and looks great too.

- got one of these just after the black friday sale and it was 104 with free shipping...It was a decent drive for the first 2 months then it decided to clunk out..It turns on and all it does is make ticking sounds..

- is this 5400 or 7200 rpm?

- I bought this last year paying around $110. I prefer my old one, USB2.0 and eSATA 500GB as I could use eSATA when needed.
  
  It's a decent external HDD for this price. I don't have issue of too much noise or heat. I still find the turning knob a little funny.
  
  The two bundled programs are just average. Backup software could not backup the whole system but folder-based. The secure folder software works only on this external HDD, not on your internal disks or other externals. Crippled softwares, worth $5 each.

- is this 5400 or 7200 rpm?
  Doesn't matter. A 5400rpm drive is faster than USB.

- I was wondering if it's a spinpoint inside and if this has any relevance:
