Hard Drives?
Peja:
Newegg is having a "sale" on Seagate HDDs right now. I know it isn't a screaming deal like we have seen in the past but its $110 for 2tb and free shipping or $150 and $7.28 shipping on 3tb.
EDIT: the above pricing is before the 15% off. 3TB is now down to $134.77 including shipping and the 2TB is $93.49. Use promo code: EMCNANC33
Just got the newsletter in the inbox this morning. http://promotions.newegg.com/NEemail/Sep-0-2012/coupon07/index-landing.html?nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL090712&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL090712-_-EMC-090712-Index-_-E0D-_-HDD#HDD

I'm skipping the 3TB drives and concentrating on filling the last remaining empty bays in my server with 2TB drives. I'll stay there (40TB total) until the 4TB drives come out and their price comes down as well as the kinks worked out so I know they are reliable and then I'll start upgrading my 2TB drives to 4TB drives. I did the same with the 1.5TB drives- I got a couple and then thought why? Just wait on the 2TB drives, which I did.
Hopefully they will come back down to where they were, but I doubt it. It's kinda like gas prices, now that they are up from last year and people are still buying them, they pretty much will stay higher than before the flood. Of course when the 4TB and larger drives are here and at a good price, then the 2TB drives will drop, but only because they will be on their way out. By then it will be hard to even find a 1TB or smaller drive. Just think how insane it sounds saying that! I remember paying $200 for a 20MB drive for my Amiga 1000!

Seagate drives run very hot, avoid them like the plague.
Buy a Western Digital instead. Your PC will love you for it.
