2TB Western Digital Elements HDD (USB 3.0) for $66

The action continues at the eBay Deals with more storage for your RAW-mega-pixels. With 1TB HDDs having a market price $50 or less “buy it now” price, the 2TB models seem to be settling at a $70 or less market price. As such, Adorama’s eBay store is offering the new condition 2TB WD Elements Portable External Hard Drive (USB 3.0, USB powered) for $66 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer.

PS: there’s also some grey-market/imported dSLRs from some of the B-list eBay Deals sellers. I’m trying to triangulate what to do with those type of deals. People are buying them per the eBay product listing statistics, but how many of the people who buy them are aware of the warranty trade-offs and risks?
