When will the Goflex Desk become available? I have been looking it up through seagate's website for a long time, and the official price for 2TB Goflex Desk HD is $199. But somehow Amazon is pricing this 2TB on $229 for pre-order, which is ridiculous. And both seagate and Amazon haven't revealed the date this HD will be on stock. So i was hopping someone who can tell me when this HD will be on stock. If the price drops to $199 i will definitely buy it from Amazon. When will the Goflex Desk become available?

I know this is an old thread but if you're still looking...I bought a 3 TB for $169 at a big box store with a yellow logo.Probably not much help if you're not in the US but Amazon has it for $149 - USB 3 too! Very fast transfers.Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 3 TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive STAC3000102

Seagate's website says NO.http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/performance/goflex-for-mac-thunderbolt/But, Apple's prices have dropped from $50 to $39 for 2 meter thunderbolt cable, and 0.5 m cable sells for $29. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD861ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-20-m?http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD862ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-05-m?

Hope this helps. Why I bought the hard drive case is as follows..... My notebook motherboard crapped out/not worth repairing. The 500G Hard drive was OK. Staples wanted to charge me $70 to transfer the files from old drive to new PC. So, with the 2.5 HD case I not only was able to download my files but now have a backup drive as well.

1- What is the speed of the HDD? the hard drive installed is 750GB and is 7200rpm (verified). It is pre-partitioned to a 250GB OS partition and a 500GB data partition. 2- Does it come with the gamers backpac and mouse from ASUS? No, this is one of the ways to reduce the price of the A1, the X versions dont come with mouse nor backpack. 3- Why is the global warranty provided (1 year) is less than the standard 2 year warranty offered by ASUS? Another place where the X version lower the price, since you dont get 2 years warranty they also lower the price, give or take like $100. If you wish to have full 2 year warranty just go for the A1 version. The XA1 is a water down verision of the A1, less warranty, less drives, no blue ray, no mouse/bag, less bandwidth memory, in exchange you get to keep $300. BTW XA1 is an amazon exclusive model so you wont find it elsewhere.

I suspect that Amazon is getting this product in limited quantities and is filling orders in the order that they were received. I pre-ordered mine at the end of March and it hasn't been filled yet.It's unfortunate that Amazon is unable to give a more accurate availability status, but I'm guessing that they do not know when they will be receiving their next shipment or how many headsets that shipment will contain. It sounds like this is a popular product and most likely Amazon received quite a few pre-orders for it.

FYI - the HD is on sale for $149 and HD+ at $199 at Staples today. Not sure how long their sale lasts, but these tablets are a steal for that price.

I've noticed a lot of 1 tb drives are scarce. People seem to want them in their computers so regular sites like newegg, tiger direct or directron don't have them or the prices seem to have climbed.

I ordered a blue one this morning and at the time I ordered it said shipping within 2-5 weeks. Now it just says this item is not yet released.Was considering a Dell Mini, but Dell's prices just aren't as good and they don't have a hard drive model.

In case you filed the D drive (if you are putting all files on the C, move them to the D) Asus also offers free storage on the cloud. Look into this. else, buy one additional hard drive. You can get Seagate 4 Tb HD for $190 buckaroos = cheap!

It is confusing/missleading on Amazon. The DS213+ priced at $399 does NOT include disk drives. Amazon have a seperate listing for a DS213+ 2200 with 2 * 2TB drive priced at $799 (showing out of stock on 12/15/12). I am still very pleased with my DS213+ which I fitted with 2 * 4TB drives. It certainly wasn't the cheapest NAS but so far has worked flawlessly.

Now it's $149, which is around the right price. Hopefully it keeps dropping. I'm wanting to get a 4TB soon.

I ordered it from Amazon on 4 Dec 10 (three weeks ago) for $260. I see it has been available for first $400 and now $290. I guess they won't ship it to me as long as they are getting orders at a higher price. Shame on Amazon - why did they advertise and take orders if their plan was to delay shipment in favor of newer orders? UPDATE (6 Jan 11): I actually ordered it for $235 (the balance was for the mount), and Amazon has just given me a delivery date. All is well with the world.

AP- I hope you are wrong but that is a good explaination. I notice that both Frys and Amazon are "sold out" while other stores such as CompUSA show they have them on the shelf. I'd rather wait for Amazon to buy this through. I'm a long time Amazon customer and they have yet to let me down on any item. That kind of customer service will keep me waiting for Samsung to work it all out. It's nothing I'm going to lose sleep over. But..interesting post nonetheless!

I'd go to the Acer site and see how much it is to buy one with the 2 TB drive.

I've seen the price at 19.99 here too. I think Amazon was selling it for the MSRP, but other sellers are trying to take advantage of the current high demand. If I buy it here, I'm going to wait until the price goes back down again.

Agreed, Amazon can shove it. Just bought one off of eBay. Base price was 1889.99 shipped, but I get $151.20 cash back from Windows Live, and hopefully another $56.70 cash back from ebates.com for a total price of $1682.09. Ordered it today around lunchtime, will be delivered tomorrow between 10 and 2. (beat that, Amazon).
