Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5 TB Mac with firewire

[Illusion986]

Does anyone know what is happening with Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5 TB Mac? I bought one few months ago on amazon for $160 and now they want over $200 for the same thing, also nearly all online stores are sold out . Did they stop production of this drive or what?

Looks like Fry's has them in stock: http://www.frys.com/product/5822853?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

I have the 1TB version and it's a great enclosure & drive.

Thank you for directing me to Fry's website, what i found there i couldn't pass up, bought WD elements 1.5TB for $99.99....its only USB but for that price i can live with it , might even pick up another one in couple weeks if price stays the same and just dedicate it for Time Machine.

I wonder if that 2-star rating explains the cheap price?

OP, you ought to consider assembling your own drive. Might save you headaches down the road in the event of a problem.
