I do not believe this is a scam....looks to be a large PC company

listed on NASDAQ...market value of $1 Billion

FYI -- there was a similar deal in the past from this merchant and people reported receiving it fine. It looks like a Fortune 1000 company (PC Connection) but with a poor reseller rating according to the previous post:

The only person who claims to have received the item in that thread was the op. Sounds fishy guys. But good luck if willing to take your chances.

Posted by someone named smahs and user smbvs reported receiving it. I think that deal ran out quickly due to the low stock so not many people got it. It's a good price but yeah you're right, it's a tiny bit iffy.

Sorry, my bad. It was only received by a new user with no reputation points aside from the 10 you start with on SD. Very shady deal I think, but again to each his own.

If i was to take the chance here, i would only do so by using a virtuall cc number with a limit.

WD's 2.5" drives are all soldered/wired board interfaces and are not shuckable.
