Attention Media Player Owners - 3TB Toshiba External HDD for $84.99!

[SuperFist]

In the interest of all fellow media player owners, thanks to this forum, I thought it would be a good idea to post a great deal I found for an external HDD to store movies on.

Office Depot has the Toshiba Canvio Desk HDWC130XK3J1 3TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive for a low $84.99 with free shipping and before tax, where applicable. This is listed as a "Black Friday Deal" but it's active now!

You know I bought one... which makes my total HDD space like 18TB!

Goodness grief, I think I need a 12-step program.

Buy from Office Depot

OfficeMax had it, which is where I bought it from, but it is now sold out there.

EDIT: Apparently I didn't catch it in time at OfficeMax as my order was currently updated with the status of BACKORDERED. Just called to cancel that and ordered it through Office Depot.

They're all sold out now.

Hey SF, and hope you and your family and loved ones enjoy a happy Thanksgiving...
And that goes to all you Fabbers out there

Might be just as well that you canceled.
Mixed reviews on newegg re: this ext hdd with quite a few 1 eggers...
One review was particularly interesting...from an electronics engineer.

I picked up this Toshiba 3 TB int hdd from newegg for $99.99 & free shipping.
Seems fast (7200 rpm) and reliable...4 egg average.

Right now it's back up to $139.99, but watch for the sales on newegg...
You know the egg, it'll go on sale again.

Yuppers, I've got 15 TB ready to watch from my comfy chair...4 hdds in a mediasonic box and another 1 in my primary AIOS.
Love the technology and convenience!

I paid only $2.79 more with tax and free shipping base price was cheaper at Seagate $159.99 and if brought from them 2 year free data recovery this is like insurance plus the 1 year warrentee works out to $43.25 a terabyte delivered minus formatting if you want to get technical.Egghead wanted $18.00 for the 2 year data recovery i got free so I got the better deal.
