I am not sure whether this is a hot price or not but It is a good price considering it is eSATA.

I saw this drive at BB instore only. Not available online.

edit: I had the wrong drive originally

it doesn't seem a bad price though (https://www.pcvonline.com/productDetails.aspx?prodID=6985), but it can be had for better. Unless it was 2.5", that would be a good price.

Thanks champdood it is exactly the same at BB as shown in your link.

It is 3.5"

PCV online has a better price than BB, but for me it is more convenient to buy it from BB.

Thanks for your input.

You can have a 1TB WD my Book Home Edition for $20 more @ Costco
Esata and firewire too

This is the Freeagent Pro drive.
FYI... the Freeagent (regular) was selling at TD for about $99 usually, but a while ago they had the FreeAgent PRO for about $100 as well, and is the same as this one (w/ eSATA).

Actually, for $10 more not $20 :).

Edit: New price in store $179, so $20 more, sorry.

I bought the 500gb Seagate Freeagent Pro for about $180 in November 2007. Its the older dark brown one and the esata doesn't work at all - many reported problems with it and no resolution that worked for me. The Memeo Autobackup program is great, though.

why not just buy a 500gb HDD + esata enclosure for like $90?

This is ridiculously expensive. 500GB HDDs go on sale for $60 or less, and you can get a damn nice eSata enclosure for a hell of a lot less then $100.

Hell, here's a 500GB WD in an enclosure for $50.

Sell the enclosure, buy a nice $40 eSata enclosure, and still be $70 ahead.

Hell, you could buy two of these and 2 eSata enclosures for $160.

Is it possible to have rates under zero?
