I got a 500GB MyBook through Dell last month for $130 with shipping. Just goes to show you that deals can be found everywhere.

the best external hard drive deal

250 GB Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive for $50. I have seen this deal twice now, once on Black Friday 2006 and once in the spring of 2007, when I bought mine. It is the best gigabyte for the dollar that you can get anywhere!

that's 20 cents per gigabyte, for those who are counting.

BEWARE of BUY.COM promos. They are currently taking $50 off on a $51 purchase when signing up for a RevolutionCard account. They don't mention that all sales are final when using a coupon. They gave me a return authorization for an unopened product. Buy.com confirmed that they received the product back, and promised a refund to my credit card within 7 business days. 3 weeks later, they said "no refunds" and won't even send the unopened product back to me.

If they aren't going to follow their own refund policy, they need to give the merchandise back to the buyer. BUY.com is obviously getting some kind of financial benefit from RevolutionCard. At the very least, they should send back the item to me, and not just keep it, re-sell it, and double their profit. As of this writing, there are over 600 consumer complaints logged with the Better Business Bureau regarding Buy.com?s handling of refunds. Buyers beware!
