What storage deals are you waiting for as Black Friday approaches?

Been wanting internal BD burner. Waited until Black Friday and sure enough - a deal popped up.
Exact model was 33% off at $40 shipped.

Probably retired, low performance models retailers are trying to get rid of.

If you're referring to SSDs, some good models. The Samsung EVO 1TB and Sandisk Ultra 1TB are hovering under $130 if you look around.

Amazon had this: Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD - CT2000MX500SSD1(Z) $208.99 Amazon Prime - it's now back up to $325

What are your system specs? Is this a laptop or desktop? Does your unit have the space/capability for an HDD?

Sooooo this topic went absolutely nowhere. Black Friday deals we waited for were nonexistant and some random questions were asked and answered. We saw the Seagate logo pass us by a handful of times.

Thanks, I guess!

Try contacting support here to verify. Also, you can download and run SeaTools on the drive to see what the problem may be.
