500GB Western Digital External for $280, any good?
 
Got this from Buy.com, anybody have any experience with this model? I've had good luck with Western Digital drives for the most part.

I don't purchase external drives anymore. I just purchase internal hard drives when they are on sale and HDD enclosures like these http://www.supergooddeal.com/category_s/17.htm

I save quite a bit of money and get the same great performance.

its not a bad price, but i agree with the dude above.... cheaper to build your own external hdd...

check www.techbargains.com and www.pricegrabber.com for good (better?) pricing...

I usually get my drives from pcmicrostore.com and have assembled them myself, but even for just the 500GB drive without enclosure, that price is awefully good.
