Got three. Thanks for the heads up Tori. Been looking for drives to raid.
Did you open yours up yet? I should mention there was a whole "end cap" of them away from where all of the other drives were - in case anyone was looking. Only some were "Made in Malaysia." |

Did you verify that they are the Black models? The only way i could do it is using a windows app called SIW.exe to read the model number. I have no idea how to do it under OS X. |

No, I haven't tried. Haven't even gotten them out of the box...
I'll prolly end up using them either way, even the 2TB Caviar Green drive retails for circa $100. I'll consider running SIW.exe thru my dad's laptop before I crack them open tho. Unless there's an easier way to verify their identities thru OS X, that someone can chime in with. I can't give you any rep @ the moment, but I would if I could! User formally known as Sh0eWax |

Grabbed the last one in stock plus a rain-check for one more. I planned on cracking the case right away, but it looks pretty well put together with no apparent screws. Maybe under the rubber feet?
Good deal either way. So it goes. |

Cracked one open, it's a Caviar Black - to be sure.

Dang. I really wish I'd seen this earlier since I'm hankering for some 2TB drives. Target.com says all of the local stores are out of stock, but I wonder if it would be worth trying tomorrow anyway... the Apex location says it has stock, and that looks like only about a ~30 minutes drive.

I got the last one in my area (according to the store worker) and didn't think to get a raincheck. I wanted two but will be fine with one. Drove to two different stores too. Thanks for sharing the deal!
Also, I cant open mine up until Christmas! At least I know what it is. Louis L'Amour, “To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers.

It wasn't too difficult. I was gentle because I didn't want to bust up the enclosure too much, but basically I pried out the bottom all around the sides bit by bit. Then I undid the 4 screws (which was pretty much unnecessary, I think) and the drive (+SATA/USB assembly) slipped right out. I'm going to put it in my RAID tomorrow and swap in an older 1 TB drive into the Element enclosure, we'll see if it successfully takes foreign drives.

I wish I had cleared out their stock when I got there yesterday. I would have gladly shipped them to other ANers at cost. Next time I come across a deal like this, I'll seriously think about doing just that.

I guess I'll be a curated RSS feed for slickdeals over here. Kensington iPhone/iPod touch Window Mount. $5 after rebate. I've been looking for one for a while but I could never bring myself to drop the $20-30 on one. This one seems to work with cases. I figure for $5 and a GPS app, I've got a nice little GPS unit.

While I'm at it, Steam has The Orange Box for $7.50. This includes Half Life 2, Half Life 2, Episodes 1 & 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2. Many of us have one or more of those titles but any one of them is worth the $7.50 alone. Me? I'm downloading TF2 and planning on getting my ass kicked in a fun shooter that costs 1/5 the price of a Call of Duty game.

Any good deals on Windows 7? I'd like to set it up with Boot Camp on my Mac but don't want to pay a lot. Amazon apparently had it for $53 Friday but I missed it.

Upgrades or student stuff won't do me any good unfortunately, need a full version. My only previous copy of Windows is an old upgrade version of XP.

Don't know. I'm looking around now.
I'll see if I can find a full version. I've been looking for one myself. |

On the subject of Microsoft, another really nice deal they've got for students is a program called DreamSpark. In a nutshell, they're giving students pro-level software (Windows Server, Visual Studio Professional, SQL Server, etc.) at no charge. Definitely geared towards Computer Science/Engineering majors, but any student even remotely interested in developing for Windows, Xbox, or Windows Phone can find something useful.
Say what you will about Microsoft being a bit out of touch with the market as of late, but their educational initiatives are pretty hard to beat. |

There is the DreamSpark option and then you can use 2008 server and modify it to run more like Win7. I'll see if I can find that link someone sent me that steps you through the changes.

@bwyatt tweeted this already, but I thought this was worth sharing here: anybody making a purchase at a Borders store this Saturday or Sunday gets a $15 card to support a public school of their choice through DonorsChoose. There's no minimum, so whether you buy a book or a bookmark or a ballpoint pen, you still get the card. If you buy the book Waiting for Superman you get a second $15 card, too.

Yes, seriously. I never shop there (B&N is more convenient if I want a retail book store), but my wife and I are going this weekend. We'll get coffee and maybe a book, just to get two purchases in.
