Flaming hot: 80 gig portable firewire drive $28 shipped

[DaviDC.]

I just checked the email confirmation ProVantage sent me & the price was listed as $28 shipped.

MacWorld lists this drive as being OS X bootable.

There's hope for the ProAdvantage price if Amazon's price is correct at $30.

I ordered 7 for $200 shipped when I first saw this, got the confirmation email, although the email itself doesn't list what was ordered or prices. There is a URL in the email for the order status, and that page does show my $22.52 each price, but it also has this interesting message....

First seller on Amazon is out.

Price now up to $36 from TheFactoryDepot.

Amazon resellers have some for about $45 with shipping.

$59 for me.

Is the one on Amazon.com (SmartDisk FWFL80 80GB Firelite 2.5" Firewire External Hard Drive) the FW800 version? I can't find confirmation in the description.

I'm about to checkout for $43.80 shipped - even that seems like a good price

Same here; I ordered three. We'll see what happens but if they jack it up I'll cancel.

tahoedrew, No. FireLite FW models are FireWire 400, not sold in a FW800 version.

Likely what happened was they got a run on it (us) and decided to boost the price.
