Yeah, that is pretty slick actually. Good find.

**Blazin** · 09-14-2010 02:43 PM

First time i've seen newegg hide a deal too..

It's listed at $119.99 w/ 120GB External HDD.. but when you look at the combos, it's $109.99.. with the new site design it's hard to find the combo, but with some work you find it and then you are rewarded with a $10 discount.

damn i wish i had 120 to spend

That's a good deal.. if I needed externals that'd be an awesome grab. I just can't deal with the transfer speed

BTW -- Ordered from Newegg at 2:45 p or so on Wed, got my drives Thursday at 7 p.

**frigidlight** · 09-24-2010 03:09 AM

**Tylersladen** · 09-24-2010 08:44 AM

there black drives are a lot more reliable and have extra sets of bearings - WD rep who came to my work.

**thomps6s** · 10-15-2010 01:43 PM

The 2 TB deal is back but combo'd with a USB dock for $99

My guess is it will be over by the end of the day.

That doesn't mean the deal won't be back.. it's obviously around frequently, and the price on the Green 2TB drive is listed at $99.99, you're actually getting the dock for free.. so you should be good to go if you wait.

Nice deal.. it is mine.

**kensington** · 10-31-2010 09:11 AM

Hmmm, just spent $100 on a 1TB portable at Costco, not sure I have an extra $80, have to dig around in the couch.

**MK19** · 10-31-2010 01:10 PM

Sold out!

**Blazin** · 11-04-2010 07:30 AM

EARS for 81 with EMCZZYR25 at checkout

**kensington** · 11-04-2010 07:59 AM

Nice. Seeing some of these deals make me wonder about Black Friday.

**Blazin** · 11-04-2010 08:15 AM

Well they will most likely have a big blowout for Cyber Monday.. but seeing as prices are already lower than brick and mortar to begin with, a deal on one of these at any time is most certainly a good buy. You may not see a $20 off on 2TB Green drives on Cyber Monday but rather on the big hitter that isn't selling out.. the Black. If you could get a 2TB Black for the same price as a green or maybe only $10 more you'd scoop it up right? Right.

**kensington** · 11-04-2010 12:56 PM

Oh yeah. I'll be buying for sure this month, 1 way or another. Because I couldn't pass it up I bought the 1TB WD SE portable from Costco for $100 but have not opened the box. If I find a better a deal it's going back.

**jjswee** · 11-04-2010 01:00 PM

whats the difference of green and black?

**thomps6s** · 11-04-2010 01:08 PM

Black is the premium 7200rpm drive

Green is a variable RPM drive "intellipower" runs as low as 5400rpm and as high as 7200

**jacobsen1** · 11-04-2010 01:12 PM

yeah, green = environmental supposedly. Quieter and uses less power, but not as fast.

**thomps6s** · 11-04-2010 01:13 PM

I should add that I own both and can't tell you the difference.

**jacobsen1** · 11-04-2010 01:44 PM

you won them?

I own greens and like them, but they're NOT quiet, must just be quieter....

**thomps6s** · 11-04-2010 01:50 PM

yeah, my black and green grumble.

**MK19** · 11-04-2010 05:55 PM

Back in stock, $89!!!

What should also be added is that fast, low power, and quieter are relative terms. A green from today is faster, lower power, and quieter than an HD manufactured 5 years ago. A green is not as fast as a black.. side by side same timeline in computers of equal components; however, If you're working on a system that's more than 2 years old, today's green could be faster. You also have to think about your intended use for the drive. If you're using a drive for backup, who cares. It may make that backup go faster if you get a black, but it's not like it's something you'd sit down and watch until completion. If you're using it as a system disk and want "fast" boot, program operation, etc.. SSD wins over any 'color' drive there is anyway.. the huge JUMP a drive makes is really only visible between a standard disk and an SSD. Even a RAID Array with raptors gets blown out by SSD and is a big jump in performance.

Just offloading storage to a secondary drive and running a clean system disk will yield performance gains.

Just don't want anyone scared away by the eco-friendly greens that may run at "low" power and "low" performance.

Make sure you use that promo I gave, it's a diff model, and you can snag it for $81 with the code.

Which promo code? I tried all of the ones listed here and nada... Also, the Samsung 2TB drive gets better reviews and I like the 2 1.5TB Samsung's I have now.

**Blazin** · 01-25-2011 08:46 PM

Samsung.. yuck. Sorry just my personal experience from an OEM supplier/repair standpoint.

**Bone** · 01-25-2011 11:19 PM

the reliability factor on that drive is garbage, DOAs all over the damn place.
