You can order via Adorama Camera at Amazon.com for the same price to avoid TAX in CA, WA, TX. PA, and etc . Adorama has tax for New York and New Jersey only.

At this price I'd get the 3 TB drive from another retailer. US NCIX had the 3 TB drives recently for $160 each. I have 4 of the 3 tb Red drives. They are really nice.

While this is true, the reason you get the Reds is for TLER for raid controllers and "enterprise" grade drives (cheaper version of RE4s). Most consumer drives are okay on raid controllers for raid5,...

Thanks guys and repped to you all. I think this will work nicely in my new setup as media files backup and when I learn how to use raid/nas setup properly, i'll convert them into raid/nas.

Not sure if Adorama Camera is an authorized dealer for WD.
Their name does not appear on the list:

This may impact the warranty.

FWIW, price is same at NCIX which taxes only in CA and accepts Paypal.
Shouldn't be a prob
Think WD had a utility ( Align22) for XP and W2K3 etc... Think it was written by Acronis.
