You should be aware there are other models listed in HN's 'Hot Deals' section
this ones better (yes its seagate, but it is better)…
Not listed on the catalogue so not sure which store can get it.
You said it all…Its a Seagate….
It's a Seagate.. clearly NOT BETTER. ;)
I find Seagate offers a wider range than WD. And therefore for me, they are better because WD don't offer what I'm looking for.
For example, if you want a 3.5" 7200 2TB internal HDD, you can get one of those for $89-99 at a PC store.
If you want the WD version, you're looking at paying $169 for a Caviar Black because they don't make 2TB in Blue.
Green = 5400 RPM, slow
Blue = 7200 RPM, equivalent in class to Seagate (except they don't go over 1TB)
Black = 7200 RPM, faster than Blue but also significantly louder, and more expensive
They also offer AV-GP 2TB WD20EURS for $139, but it's not 7200.
The MyBook and Elements 2TB drives that I ripped out were 5400RPM. The Seagate I ripped out was 7200RPM.
I've pretty much switched from WD to Seagate now because I don't want to pay $169 for a 2TB 7200RPM drive.
You forgot Red.. I've had too many failures with Seagate so when possible I buy WD.
In saying this I have a 1TB Seagate 7200rpm which is working fine.
Cheap
looks good, been waiting for this. dont want a seagate drive
USB 2.0 only
If interested in USB 3, Is the 2TB not a better option??

Is the case easy to open, so that I can take the hard disk out to use it with my media centre and put another hard disk in.
You might aswell buy the hdd without the enclosure for the same price
If I don't need to break it to open it up I can re-use it with a smaller drive.
Anyway not important.
Why are there never any internal drive sales? :(
