HDD Compatible: All 2.5" or 3.5" SATA HDD upto 1TB (1,000GB)
dunno why it says up to 1TB. might be an older posting. The thermaltake website indicates up to 2gb (but that might be because there aren't any larger drives out there...with whatever restrictions that our comps have with maxing at 2gb for the time being).
I have one of these and has been very useful for backing up data, music, and movies. wish it was this price when i picked it up a few months ago...
btw, highly recommend that you use the esata part if your comp is capable, because backing up 1tb of iso's via usb will take hours...
This deal was usually $15 AR, no? Or was it always $20 AR...

Rebate says, valid only for purchases at Channel Wide.
Is this a potential problem, or is this another name for the site/company?
BEWARE of ambiguous zipzoomfly rebate requirements. Just a word of caution, they often don't include all the required labels / stickers in the box to meet all the rebate submission requirements. SO FAIR WARNING to you-- you're definitely taking your chances on a zipzoomfly.com purchase w/rebate.
I pulled the trigger on a DVD drive w/$15 rebate last week from ZZF... and when it arrived today I noticed that the rebate requires BOTH a "UPC bar code" as well as a "product label sticker". There is only a UPC bar code in the box. No product label sticker. At least none that is removable w/o destroying the sticker completely. Called their customer service dept who assured me that I don't need the missing sticker to get the rebate, but it's disconcerting to be mailing in an incomplete rebate w/hopes that the rebate house will honor it. So fair warning to you-- you're definitely taking your chances on a zipzoomfly.com rebate.
I've used them before years ago for many different components. I'm not too worried (if I had to I'll just call up and hassle them over the phone), just sad I didn't see the ewiz deal

Anyone buy from ewiz from the east coast? Shipping from Newegg is pretty good but zipzoomfly takes forever...

Sata on Win 95/98/NT? Doesn't make sense. LOL

Thanks, I've been waiting for this to drop back to $20. In for 1!
Many thanks for the Radio Shack link. Apparently I'm blacklisted from shopping at eWiz for leaving a review on them 5 years ago on resellerratings.com.

I can't be 100% sure, but I'm willing to wager that Channel Wide means.....the entire sales channel, meaning anyone selling it.
anyone know what "channel wide" is? doing searches on google, I only came across other reports that were indicated as "channel wide"...similar to the thermaltake, but with asus, and some other brand...though the other rebate forms appeared to have listed specific stores...
Seems like think this would be good to have if you have more than a couple drives you use for backing up, etc, and don't want to have to buy enclosures for them all. Does anyone know of another place to get one this price?

Alive again? Just ordered and it looks like there's a new rebate.
