3TB Seagate Backup Plus USB 3.0 External Desktop Hard Drive $99.99

Quote from teethdood : I'm in for 4. Anyone want my 5th since it's limit 5 per customer?!?

where do you live?

If we're talking about failure rates...

I've had 6 drives fail out of 20 or so I've purchased in the last few years. I have about half/half Seagate and WD.

All failed drives were Western Digital. I've done RMAs, and the replacements have failed as well (50% failure rate on RMA replacements).

So, I have a 60% failure rate with WD (not including RMA failures).

No problems whatsoever with any of my Seagates. I also have a Maxtor which is extremely noisy but it hasn't failed yet.

>>>can you explain it pops up 4 stars for me on amazon STCA3000101 ?

You have to be a member to shop at Costco but some stores offer a temporary membership for people who want to try out the store before signing up for the whole year. Not all stores offer this and some charge a 5% non-member surcharge on all purchases like they do for non-members online. Easiest thing to do is just call your local store and ask unless you know a member who will just go with you to pick it up.

got 2 of these last year for slightly cheaper. working pretty well so far.

Is this in store or online?

Memberships are 100% "satisfaction guaranteed" or money back, so get the membership... shop... then say "you're not satisfied" and they'll refund your membership back. =)

Quote from slicksteals1109 : Yes, but according to a review on the second page, it seems that the drive itself is too slow to be true USB 3.0...the reviewer said:

Why would you buy an external HD with expectations that it will increase performance? What performance?

mine have been working great for the last four years

If anybody can find a cheap filler it could be used with the $25 off $100 offer (Amex online only purchase):

You can look at the scanned booklet on our site to confirm but I gotta say the quality is really bad. But I had 2 of them (what a waste of paper) and I can confirm that this is also available at Costco.com.
All Costco special prices are good until 11/25 but only with items on hand so you may want to grab it asap. I try ordering another external drive and the shipping is free but nothing sure about this deal. Bestbuy has the exact same deal but Costco satisfaction policy rock

Can i use this to backup/play xbox videos?

I get "This item may be available at your local Costco for a cash and carry price." and no add to cart option when I try to get the item online... =\

Also no dice if I try to add the item directly from the "add by item number" option.
