Internal and external Seagate 3-platter 3TB ST3000DM001 for $99 at Amazon -- and unlike the 1-per-customer $89.99 at TD earlier, this has no quantity limit.

However, Amazon ships the internal version with "frustration free" packaging, which in my experience is inadequate for harddisks, so I always buy this particular model of external - which always has an ST3000DM001 inside - and the warranty in fact follows the drive not the enclosure.

The enclosure and packaging material around the enclosure in the box essentially act as glorified packing material to get the drive transported safer. I've never had one of these externals arrive DOA.
