    I already picked up three of these at Fry's a few weeks ago for 109.99, and they are on sale at Fry's again this week for the same price (discounted from 149.99), but Best Buy is offering it at 119.99 with a free dock and case.

    I am going to pick up another this week, since my Reward Zone certificates will reduce the cost of the drive itself (cost of the drive minus the amount I would normally pay for the dock, which I have wanted to get) to well below 100 bucks.

    For 500GB of storage in a portable drive, this is a pretty good deal.

    For those who are not interested in the dock, check out Frys.com for the same drive at 109.99.

    Hiya, Cin! :)

    It's a great little portable. When I was going on my trip, I loaded a bunch of DVD movies onto the hard drive and was in heaven all the way across the country.
