It's a good deal. I bought the 2T version from Bestbuy several weeks ago at $119. A good drive, very quiet.

I just ordered it. Do you keep it powered up all the time or turn it on as you need it? I am replacing a NAS WD 1TB that dies after 9 months. It was always on.

No. As my rule of using external hard drives, I always power it off whenever I no longer use it. I only power it up when I need to back up files to it or copy things from it. This way hard drives can last longer.

That's what I figured. With NAS it made sense to leave it on (or so I thought). Thanks for the info!

With NAS, leaving it on all the time makes it easily available. But the real amount of time that you use is only a small fraction of daily on-time.

I understand that. The box was always hot. I guess that is why the drive fried. At least I had it backed up.

Still no shipment confirmation. They may be a little slow to ship.

Just logged into Dell.com. Shows the item as being in "pre-production". Huh? Also shows a scheduled delivery date of 7/29. Very weird!

Perhaps the HD's are comming from the WD directly and 'pre-production' really means they're contacting them to ship the drives out.

I assumed it meant it was being sent to a distributor. I just thought it should say something more accurate. No big deal.
