Sorry man, but fuck Seagate. One of the worst mfg's for hard drives. I just had 1 portable and 1 external (but big) repaired by RESTORE Data Vancouver. It was $2500 for both to repair The most common hard drives that come in for repair, are Seagate branded ones. Never again.

I second this - fuck Seagate.
I know everyone's all WD vs Seagate and they all have their camps but my 15+ year experience with hard drives has been overwhelmingly pro WD.
I haven't seen anything for big ticket items now but just always be on the look out, frequently throughout the year a lot of the car seat companies such as Britax or Clek etc will do their standard sale that applies at any store and are usually pretty good. Depending on when you need it just always be on the lookout and slowly accumulate what you need. Also if you're not on the Parents and Babies group on facebook get on it, great place for resource as well for sales and other things.

Other than WD, who else is there?
Also fuck that price, I hope you have some decent backups now.

lol, knock on wood... none of my HDD's have ever failed on me before and I use every brand (it was a thing of mine to just try them all and not have duplicate brands). Over time I have replaced the smaller capacity ones, but I still have a couple dating back in like 2010 and I pretty much use my computer everyday.
Kind of scary.. lol.
But I do have stuff backed up.. on a Seagate.

When it comes to hard drives, I only use these. Completely professional grade but probably overkill. Can't say I've ever seen them on sale but I've never looked around Black Friday.
G-Technology is part of the WD family so I guess I'll be in that camp

TJ kiddies has storewide 25% today and tomorrow with some exclusions but there are some big ticket items to be had.
You're a champ!!

Thanks again, we're going to go tomorrow anyway!
Baby items are so $$$ lucky my sister had 2 babies so she have a lot stuff left for me to use..... but the strollers and car seats only have 3 years left before they expiry......

Having been a father for 5 years now what I've learned and found interesting is the secondary market for baby/kids stuff is worse than cars. It's a complete buyers market so for those who don't mind used items you win big. I'm talking brand new retail strollers that go for $1000 having trouble sell for $200 even if it's in mint condition being the norm here. Low balls galore as well like no other.

Definitely! We don't mind used as long as hygiene and safety aren't an issue haha
