    I jumped on it as soon as I confirmed it's 1.5 TB and 7200 RPM. I've been needing an external for a while and I was waiting for both a high capacity, high speed drive and an enclosure to go on sale. I'm hoping what you say is true :) In either case, they appear to be sold out.

    Edit: Never mind; they were this morning but now they are selling again.
