Don't feel too bad, I picked 2 up at $180

In any case, thanks OP.

I wish I could get that in TX

Thanks, just got 2 of this baby at TD. Will hook it up with EX470.

Btw, do you guys take out the stock 500GB or just leave it as the system drive? I guess 500GB is good for system drive.

My understanding is that WHS is not using any hardware RAID. It might use software RAID.

I just worry about if one of this drive fail, I might lose all of data.

Anyway, 3.5TB should be enough for me. I plan to use it as share folders and web/app/db servers. no need to do PC backup though.

And my 15% CB shows up now.

mikes929292 said:Just an FYI to sweeten the deal for a few minutes extra work...

Bought $100 Dell gift card codes from eBay @ 10% off face + 25% Live CashBack then used those combined with 3% Dell Home CashBack (from here) to buy my 2 drives for $75 ea. shipped to my door. It saved me about $25 more per drive and should work great for the HP EX470 Home Server that just showed up.

Thanks OP!

Just bought another one going this route and my end cost after FatCash and live.com is $65.40
Thanks again OP & mikes929292

secstate said:One thing to note when considering TD or the Egg. The Egg allows returns with in 30-days while TD is clear that once you sign for the package the drive is your problem. For some the approximately $13.00 between the two (given the Eggs 2.75% CashBack) may be worth less than the ability to return a drive to the vendor given its history. I went with TD anyway but I have my doubts now.

I recently RMA'ed a DOA drive back to Newegg and an older drive to Seagate. The Seagate RMA process was much better. Newegg's RMA process required me to send the drive back at my own expense (despite the fact that it was DOA) which cost roughly $9 UPS. Once Newegg received the drive, they sent a replacement; a total of 1.5-2 weeks total time.

With Seagate, I did an "advanced replacement" option for $20. Submitted the RMA on Monday, replacement drive was shipped Tuesday via 2nd day UPS, and will include a pre-paid return label. So for +$11 I cut 1.5 weeks time and it's far more convenient for me b/c I don't have to find a box, package the drive, make a label, etc.

In other words, if your TD drive is bad, don't sweat it. The return process is easier with Seagate and, for a couple extra bucks, very convenient.

If you are maxed out or weary about live CashBack, CompUSA (owned by tiger) is another option
2 drives, ($119 x 2) - (4% CashBack) - ($20 paypal off $200) + $1.99ship = $105.24 per drive shipped. No Tax for me in NJ.

I have returned 3 drives to Seagate (one I wrapped in foam for noise reduction, but must have gottent too hot, one I dropped, a third just died after 3 years 24x7 use). Easy return process. Once they sent me back a better drive (+20 extra GB). Much better than Newegg RMA process which I have had trouble with in the past.

Is that 4% from FW CashBack you are referring to? That's better than live's 2.5% for Newegg anyway.
