Good price for a Firewire-compatible drive, not everyone needs 500+GB of storage on a single drive so these smaller drives are good in a sense. Also, found external 250GB FreeAgent Desktop for 37.99 on the site as well.

just wait till the 750gb goes on sale for $120 + free s/h again.
Yes, but for those who don't need something that extravagent, this 320GB external is a nice choice at this price. I bought this drive about 5 months ago and have been happy with it.

Thanks for the find. It was good timing as my 160Gig External Drive just crashed tonight. I figure this is a Sata Driver on the inside and as the price of 1T drives come down, I can upgrade it, if needed.
Firstly, good find and good post. Good grief how I do hate the fear induced by obnoxious wanna-be moderators who flame people for not crossing their t's and dotting their i's. Thank you OP not just for sharing your find, but also for overcoming the trepidation inspired by some of the red-flaggers on this site. Green from me and I hope many more.

Anyone know if you can crack these open and use the drive inside as an internal drive?

I don't understand some people. I am running a 4 year old PC with SATA RAID 1 and a pair of 120GB drives. I just checked... I have 72GB of drive space used.
wow, this is a better price than I paid in last Thanksgiving.

Is this a 3.5"? Can I take out the hard drive and install it as an internal hard drive? If so, do I need any other software to make it work? Also, what is the difference between the Pro and the Desktop version?

do you understand the concept of what "out of stock" means?

I truly hope that the CEO of Seagate responds to your email and says:
"There aren't any left."
And my response to him/her would be a simple "then get me something similar at the same price point, or something at the same cost per GB. SURELY they have SOME drives left!
