Amazon External Hard Drive Deals [Black Friday]
If you’re looking to buy some extra media storage for your computer, or you just need a larger Time Machine backup drive, pay attention, because Amazon is having a great sale on external hard drives. The best part is they’re not limiting these discounts to Black Friday, so they’re live now. Most are USB 2.0 but there’s a couple Firewire drives in the mix too if you don’t mind paying extra for the interface. All drives can be formatted for Mac or PC compatibility.
Free shipping, and no lines? Works for me. Don’t miss Amazon’s internal hard drive and SSD deals too.

Your prices are too high. Office max had the Seagate GoFlex Dest 2TB External Hard Drive for $74.99.
The prices of hard drives went up insanely fast after the floodings in Thailand. These prices aren’t low at all.
Those Amazon prices aren’t that low. Those look like normal prices to me.
