Amazon ran out of stock. Now you're seeing third party sellers.

Seagate externals are shorter-lived than fruit flies and the bundled software is Mac-poison.
But those GoFlex adapters are neat!

Question about these and also the $39 porrtable listed below--
Does anyonw know whether they have actual physical on/off switches? The last Seagate externals I had would automatically be on when they got power, and I hated that.

These do not have on/off switches. However, you can hook it up to a power strip and use the switch on the power strip to turn it on/off. That's how I handled the problem with the drive connected to my WDTV Live.

Well you gotta be quick ;-)
Try this one:
3Tb Seagate but only a 1 year warranty for $89.99

I let my 2 - 1Tb WD's run all the time, in fact I let all my ext. run all the time.

I would rather have backup drives off except during the backing up process. I guess power strip is a possibility, but it would have to be one drive per power strip which gets kind of dumb.
