320GB SATA drives are $79…I think I found a $25 gift card for best buy yay… I was just curious if there are any local computer shops that might be cheaper. ---

Sometimes office max/depot will have a decent deal. Cheapest place would probably be Sams Club ---

What kind of hd’s? i just picked up a 500GB USB drive for $120. It’s the slim one and i’d prefer the portability over the large 1TB drive for the same price at bestbuy. ---

Go to the sites for best buy, office depot, office max and staples. Look at the local weekly ad and I’ll bet one of them has a decent sale on a 500-750gb drive. ---

Check Best Buy or Office Depot/Max. Usually there is a sale at one place each week. ---

You can get 1TB single drive externals for $80-90 online… I dont know how much storage youre looking for, but I see no need to go any lower than 1TB at these prices. Internals are $80-90 on newegg for a 1TB. You can get it overnighted and have it on tuesday for about $10. VERY ocasionally, BB has very good deals on HD’s that are even cheaper than online. I got a few 1TB’s from BB about a year ago when they were $80! These deals are usually unadvertised, and the price dosent even have a sale tag on it, its just the new normal price is super cheap. ---

Not sure of any local sales but [Newegg.com](http://Newegg.com) is worth the few day wait. > [@BillysRevenge](#): > > make sure you keep the receipts, and I would go with Seagates. Or Western Digital. Stay away from the Maxtor brand. ---

Western Digital makes a good drive but doesn’t offer the 5 year warranty of seagate. I personally have both brands. ---

Not if you put it back in… \<_\< \>_\> I dont know if those drives have some major tamper proof label, but worst case scenario is you buy another, swap, and return. ---

No, if you take the drive out, you rip the sticker on the enclosure and void the warranty on the “external hard drive” itself. Not a huge deal. BUT… Sometimes you can cash in the bare drive itself to the OEM, sometimes they are under 3 year warranty as internal drives. But some of the manufacturers have gotten wise to this, and they start giving the internal drives external drive serial numbers. Its a crapshoot. I haven’t dealt with these things daily in 3 years, so some of it may have changed. ---

Lucky me I found a $50(thought it was only $25) best buy gift card…ended up grabbing a 500gb drive from best buy…
