  TBH I'd rather support Scorptec than Amazon, so thank you for linking the Scorptec deal. Not that I'll be taking it up: 500GB is just too small for an internal drive these days (in my opinion). Could get one and throw it in an enclosure but 🤔

    TBH, my pocket votes and in my case, since there are no local Scorptec where I am and Amazon is doing free shipping, I rather go with Amazon.

      Everyone needs to make their own decision based on what is best for them - that's Amazon in your case, and that's perfectly fine :)

      TBH I would go with Amazon too over Scorptec because there are no stores near me but I think our decision is kinda why there are no Scorptecs near us..

    I get what you mean, I've recently resolved to do the same thing: if the difference between Amazon and a local supplier is free postage, and postage is < $10 locally, I'll go local.

    Not too small for many people. However it is a question of value compared to the 1TB. I think we will see further reduction in the 1TB model and probably in the 500GB model.

      The issue is total available storage. If you're not looking to store much, yeah the 500GB will be perfectly fine. For me I want a decent amount of space but also don't have a lot of ports available - if I had an old desktop with 4+ SATA ports, going 500GB probably wouldn't be an issue. I've actually got a collection of old HDDs that I'm just not using because it's not worth it - one factor in that decision being space on disk (one of them being as low as 80 GB !)

  177 for 2tb - is that the best price we will see. Or keep waiting

    If you're expecting something like $99 for 2TB then no, but $149 for 2TB sounds pretty realistic in a couple months.
