    Quick question, I'll be in New York, Miami and possibly Ohio for two weeks in July. I want to purchase two Hitachi Travelstar 7k500 hard drives from a store - just won't be anywhere long enough for them to get shipped to me.

    Any idea where I could find them? Best Buy and B&H don't seem to stock them.

    Thanks!

    Not sure if this helps but when I was in US three months ago an office store had Hitachi 2.5" drives in store.

    It was something like Staples of Officemax, not sure.

    it is trivially easy to type "travelstar" into a stores web search.......

    No sense guessing.
