This is a questionable deal (imo). Here's my reasoning:
1. Third-party seller could eventually be a problem with a warranty claim. (Not saying it will be, just could be).
2. 500Gb = $90...

Sad thing is that on Amazon just 3? days ago it was a daily deal and the 750 GB model was $79.99.
Wow I wish I jumped on it then.
