The is one BUT:
they are back-ordered for shipment, BUT ARE AVAILABLE in most stores . . .
order & pay on-line (reserving yours) then pick up later

Pretty good deal I think.

edit:
if this belongs elsewhere, I apologize and please move it.
also - I am not affiliated, just saw a potential for alot of interest here.

Me too. Very tempting.

As great of a deal as that is, i've heard a LOT of negative reviews on the seagate freeagent externals. Many have had problems with the internal circuitry crapping out or other various things causing it to not work.

Seagate is a reliable brand.

Which internal circuitry are you talking about? That of the harddisk or that relating to the casing?

Nice - thanks!

related to the casing, not the hard drive itself. Seagate is my favorite hard drive company, but they really screwed up on their new line of externals.

edit: actually, they might have fixed all of them. Newegg just recently updated all of the freeagent models and they have gotten good reviews.
