Updated: More Hard Drive Deals for Windows Home Server

I found an external drive at one of those deal-a-day websites that might be of interest to WHS users.

Cavalry 1TB High Speed External Hard Drive USB 2.0 with Internal WD10EACS & One Touch Backup CAUM3701T0-B - NEW for $119.99

It has an internal WD Green drive.

Newegg.com has just the drive for $139.99.

I know I have removed drives from enclosures and replaced with a smaller one so this might be a good opportunity for anyone looking for 1TB drives.  The deal-a-day sites usually have overstock, refurbs, or products that didn’t sell very well so I’m not sure what category this drive falls into.  Site says it’s new.  It’s a green drive so the RPM’s are 5400 to 7200.  Take a look for yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just ran across the Western Digital Green 1TB drive at Newegg.com for $129.99.  Free Shipping, No Rebates, No Promo Codes needed.  Follow the link to see it at Newegg.
