BB Clearance sale on external drives

[chicagofilms]

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up. I stopped in my local Best Buy this afternoon and picked up a 500GB Wester Digital MyBook for just $149 (reg. $249) They are on clearance to make room for the newly announced models I suppose. They also had the 1TB model for $249 (reg.$449).

The unit has USB and a network interface. I couldn't pass that up so I bought it, called Dish to activate external storage and am now watching the clock tick slowly away till I get off work & can go home to hook it up to my 622.

I'm hoping the 1TB model is still around next week, so I can add some network storage for my systems at home.

From his description (USB and Firewire..he said network) and original price, I believe the OP got a My Book Pro.

I went to BB and they had them for $169, but were out of them, luckily for me. I then went to Circuit city and they had the same WD 500GB Essential External My Book HD for $129. Saved another $40. They had several here in Pensacola.
