I got a guy that keeps coming in with these BRAND new externals and selling them to me for pretty cheap.  I have him fill out my paper work that says he has the legal right to sell them and I copy his ID and then I ask NO more questions on that. :)

Anyway, I got a few USB 3 ONE TB externals (laptop sized) and a couple of Desktop Externals (1TB USB 2 and 2TB USB 3).

I'd let them go below market value to you guys if any of your are interested.

I think all the ones I have left are Western Digital's

The Desktop sized ones are My Book Essentials (at least the 2TB usb 3 ones are... the 1TB usb 2 one is the same case and all but no label that says "my book" or anything.

The Smaller laptop sized ones are My Passports (usb 3) 1TB.

 ;D I guess that's why he says it's not really a classified.  ;D

Getting the specifics on this is a little like pulling teeth, the way some folks ask me for quotes, one requirement at a time! Of course with these hard drives, there's little danger of the , "and oh yeah, I need two baby sized as well"  lol!
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

1 TB Desktop sized USB 2  = $90 shipped
2 TB Desktop sized USB 3 = $130 shipped

1 TB Laptop sized USB 3 = $115 shipped

For the record, "laptop" and "desktop" sized just means that its the 2.5" or 3.5" respectfully.  3.5" has it's own power supply, 2.5" runs off the USB buss power supply.

No, because if I put my prices up then it's just a sales pitch.  I'm just offering this to guys on here that actually READ and post for these prices.  I could hock these out on ebay at full retail all day long... I'm just passing on my savings to you guys.

If there is no interest in them then no need to "spam" the board.

Well, I am in the computer business to make money.  It's still less than you can buy them for.  These are new, full warranty drives.

I'll entertain offers but I'm not looking to give them away either.

BTW, that is delivered, if you REALLY need me to hook it up then you probably should put down the keyboard and walk away right now. ;)

By the way,  How do I know if I need a USB2 or 3?

We could probably make that work.

You don't NEED usb 3 on your pc but if you do then it it's nice.

 But it is all cross/backwards compatible.
