is one of the best sites for deals on anything.- airfare to computers, cars to jewelry.. anything thats a great deal...

Its a user community (like Mahalo) and not supported by any retailer. Deals are smoking hot sometimes to warm other times.. Some deals involve coupons, pricematching, MS cashback or alternate payment methods (google checkout, paypal, billmelater or ebillme, etc)...

Here's a a great deal on a 1TB (non external) - for the best deal buy a cheap external enclosure off ebay for $10-20:

Costco recently had a deal on a 1.5 T for about $139. I got one recently at Best Buy for $125 and that included the tax. I have a Seagate and a Western Digital. I would recommend the Seagate.

I like tigerdirect.com. Get a seagate freeagent, that's what I have. It comes with decent autobackup software also. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4183658&CatId=4230
