    Is this open to international residents, I suggest that it should be since 1.5 billion shipments included alot from selling and shipping outside the US.

    If thats the case, count me in!

    This thing is a floppy drive compared to my storage array. No way its going to backup all my data. However it could be useful for my parents who need a way to backup all their digital photos.

    Great accomplishment for Seagate. Now, I wish they would start pumping out SSDs and just set aside hybrid drives for now. In turn, hopefully, SSD prices will fall to attractive levels for the average consumer.

    external hdds are getting popular more than ever. since most users want to bring their content where ever they go. thumb drives are sometimes insufficient for people. external hdds are becoming smaller but comes with larger storage space. progress!

    wow...

    In order for Seagate to give away something (3 fricking hard drives) as thanks, they have to sell 1.5 billion hard drives first.

    If you borrow money from Seagate, they'd fly in people on first class just to break your legs.

    I love a good giveaway, but this is unfortunately limited to North Americans.

    Seems a little insignificant giving away 3 hard drives for this big of an event for them. Whatever I guess.

    It's more insignificant that it it's only open to US residents. I think that should be mentioned on Techspot.
