That is cool. I agree there are so many deals to be had on storage these days.

and not only that but they dont require a powercord anymore. Theyre powered right through the usb bus. I cant believe how much has changed.
16 gig flash drives for $25.
Im just amazed

how about you leave the house more often

Yup, data storage is cheaper and cheaper every day, I can't wait when pen drives will be 128GB and 256GB with reasonable speed :) It's a perfect solution to keep all the stuff secured in one place.

$60 for 250 is too much you coulda found a better deal.

Yes they don't require power but some of them require 2 usb plugs very close together.

or at least 1 high power usb.

Just don't drop that thing!

I got a Seagate 1.5 TB SATA drive for $117 on Wednesday.and a case to use it externally at Fry's in Plano, TX (just north of Dallas).

The sale was supposed to end Thursday.

Indeed. I bought a 1TB Toshiba drive for 100 euros. It rocks.

Man, I'm so jealous. I wish we had that kind of pricing here in the Philippines. To get something close to that pricing, people would have to buy their personal stuff in Singapore.

yup thats a laptop hard drive tossed in a case, I've bought 700Gb drives in the $70 range a few times.

It depends what kind you get. The one you got is meant for travel, the one I got is not... 1 TB for $130.

Hell, I've seen up to 64GB flash drives.
I just bought a 1T for $100 from newegg.com, but it's got its own power cord.

that's pretty slick, nice and small :thumbsup

I get 1 TB's for just over 100
