    So you have a stock number or SKU? I'd like to see if I can find it on the best buy website. Newegg is still charging $210 for that drive w/o enclosure.

    I haven't seen them at my best buy, but I just ordered one last week from Lagoom.com for about $180. Is that Best buy price online or actually in the store? Either way, good find

    Oh chosin! Why can't you just tell them the full detail.
    For those who are interested. Here:
    http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=130355&t=640593&highlight=7k200
    basically just look for that particular model of Hitachi 200GB external drive, and look at the serial# on the box. If the # start with DTG, then it's the 7k200 inside the enclosure. I've tried it a month ago, and it worked. Got one for 134 after tax. Some report that ones with DEG is also 7k200 in there, but I wouldn't risk it, because not many people reported that.
    Anyway, good luck for those who are looking for it.
    BTW supposely BB is currently have the drive on sale for 119.99 this week, so it's even better deal than it was before.
