February 9, 201214 yr Western Digital Elements 3TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive - Refurbished - WDBAAU0030HBK-NESN $139 shipped Refurb plus no warranty (since you have to remove it from the enclosure)? Pretty risky, but it might be worth it to some. Definitely a low price for 3 TB.
February 10, 201214 yr Are you sure the warranty would be void? I don't know about the warranty status of refurb stuff but but I bought a new external 3TB WD drive a few months back and removed it from the enclosure. I just checked the warranty status on the WD website with the serial number printed on the actual drive and it says it's got the two year warranty.
February 12, 201214 yr Author I'm not 100% sure, but I wouldn't bet on having a warranty after removing from the enclosure. Still, you might get lucky, as it sounds like you did.
