Any 10-12% coupon to sweeten the deal??

YES, they should if the return period (normally 28 days) is not exceeded. It's better for them than you returning these and then buying new ones.

Worked for me! I actually price-matched in-store, then they let me use the coupon as well. So, $161.99 total w/ no sales tax in AK! Comes out to be ~$0.16/GB

EDIT: Opened up the case, it's a GreenPower drive inside.

Got one for 161.99 yesterday.

Probably going to pick one up after work. Nice post OP!

Anyone have any experience removing the drive from one of these things?

Edit: Just found the thread for the internal drives for $10 cheaper.
