All the usual suspects: Newegg, J&R, Best Buy, Buy, Amazon have the 2TB internal WD drives priced at $300. Any bargains out there from a reputable source?

These drives were just announced in late January, plus they are the world's first internal 2TB drives. I wouldn't expect prices to drop until late this year or until it has competition.

However you can find a 1TB drive for $99 or 1.5TB for $130, why pay a premium for cutting edge technology?

Cheers,
Alon

Small space + Wife Anger Factor = highest capacity possible HDs are worth every penny.

W.A.F. precludes continuing the current daisy chain of external drives and a mess of power cords/supplies and Firewire cables. I've gotten a MacPro, that can hold up to 8TB (4X2TB) internal HDs, and I intend to use every single byte of that potential.
