NGL, I've been waiting on this. I don't trust Seagate, and it took a while for WD to do the 2 TB version.

Yea I misread 2230 what was actually a 2280, actual 2230s are around ~140-170

But still, my comment was not strictly about the time, it was also the principal of not rewarding proprietary shit like this, which is priceless. I was also very conservative with my 1 hour round trip estimate, looking at the guide in detail I think one could do it in ~30-40 minutes roundtrip (not including time to clone, because that's a set and forget operation) mostly because there's no adhesives or annoying clips (like the 360, ugh what a pain that bitch was lmao)

We make about the same money, and I'm absolutely taking this route, if for nothing else but on principle

Unfortunately, 4TBs are not available in the 2230 size though

And also, this is a sales price, if you miss it or they're out of stock or whatever then the calculation goes back into favor

Oh, DEFINITELY. When the 2TB C50 launched it was $260, IIRC? Definitely a different animal at that price.
