AFAIK, these are exclusive to BBY, so no price matching.Well, the lowest they were was $159... right? And that wasn't frequent either. I'd be buying them now. Or trying to get an online store to price match BB so that you could avoid sales tax.

did you test via USB 2.0/3.0 or SATA
USB? 3.0/SATA should take 2 days give or take for 2 full read/writes
What do you guys do with the enclosures?
4 more days of writing to the disks and they will both be finished testing! Well one just has 20 more hours, the other one has 4+ days remaining.
this is taking too long. I stopped the process as the one disk that is writing faster is at 51c, and the other is at 49c I can't imagine this test was good for the disks.
I'll have to find another way to test them
I snagged one and im running it stock in the enclosure. Its reporting 49C basically idle, though it is getting hot air blown on it (not directly but nearby) from my 1080 Ti Founders mining Ethereum 24/7. Temp seems a bit high but im not gonna worry about it, datasheet says operating temp up to 65C. Curious if a standard market purchased 8tb Red also runs hot or not.
Just ordered 2 of these, whats the best way to test them before I remove them from the enclosures? What do you guys do with the enclosures?
mine are 49 idle and 53c while scanning... And they are still scanning lol I don't think this is ever going to be done scanning.I snagged one and im running it stock in the enclosure.

Give it a few days to a week or so, it will go on sale again.
These are drawing people into the store like flies to honey so BB will keep doing it.
.
You can check and order online, and it will let you know if you have the option to instore pickup (same day if available in stock). Don't actually have to drive there to check.yeah i keep meaning to check but working grave yard shift makes it a pain in the arse to get the energy to bother going over there.. one day i'll do it but i'll be surprised if they actually carry them here, where i live isn't really known for being computer savvy..
Just keep in mind guys, even at $199 these are a total steal.Damn it was just about to buy one but it's back up to 199.99 forgot it was sunday and new sales.. Damn it...

What are the settings recommended for HD Sentinel?
i bought the 5 key thing for like 50 or 75 bucks it gives a lot of extra features and is super handy and a life time keyI have the same question.
Did you guys buy a license, or is the free trial sufficient?
Did any of you pick up the free Shutterfly book coupon that came with this external HD deal, and have no plans to use it? Could you private message me the code. Would be appreciated.
did they email it or did I have to claim it? I can check
every 1-3 months probablyAnyone know how often the prices drop to 169-179? Just wondering because I am needing to get 9-12 of them.
