If you just want the HDD as storage just buy those External ones form FS or bestbuy and take it out form the USB casing. That's what I did. Got a 3TB HD external HD form Bestbuy and just took the USB casing out.

Downside of doing that is you usually only have one year warranty on those drives, versus 3-5 years for internal drives.

FYI you can't price match sales with very limited stock (like a door crash or boxing day sale).

BTW I saw a good deal today at the bellingham costco, 3TB WD Essential USB3.0 external hard drive on sale for $109.99.
