Great prices, especially for the 2tb and 3tb drives.
No USB 3.0 though, so if you aren't patient you may want to wait for a newer model.

Is 10Mbps ethernet (10+ years old technology) faster than USB 2.0?

Yes a 300gb or larger drive is great for homebrew/Wii. You can fill up a 500gb if you get tons of games though. USB 3.0 drives will work fine on the Wii.
