Availability Can anyone explain why Amazon (or anywhere else for that matter) doesn't seem to ever have these in stock?

The hard drive industry still hasn't fully recovered from the 2011 flooding in Thailand that shut down most of the world's HDD manufacturing for the better part of a year.

I ordered 3x3TB versions a month ago and got them within a couple of days. Demand and timing I guess.

Great! Looks like the demand is high and supply is small looking at some of the prices going around. Going to wait until amazon has them in stock :)

Oh from Amazon? Yeah I got some generic email from them before that said your "item is no longer in stock" which lead me to believe anything we hear from amazon regarding this is useless (since they never had it in stock)

I think that's an onsite error.. just as it now says "This item has not yet been released.". I suppose it's just out of stock for now.

Mary, if these are available at any of those places then let me know so I can go and buy them. As far as I know, theyve been discontinued and are only available on Amazon.

It's amazing to me that Amazon can't get stock of this product when HP and others have been shipping for weeks... what gives guys?

Who knows??? I saw the July 24th date last week and now as I look at various sites it says August. Just "August", no date with it. I preordered my in April, since it was suppose to be due on in May. Then June. Then July 24th. Now "August". I don't know why Amazon seems to be actually selling them now. Does this mean they actual have ones in stock? I would call Amazon (the contact information isn't hard to find) and ask them directly IF they actually have them *in stock*! To be honest, I would be shocked if they did, because no one else does! (And don't be fooled by eBay; there are sellers there ALWAYS selling stuff months before it is released! Of course, they never mention that in their listings!)

I still see it as available on 23 Feb 2011. In fact, it went down in price since I last bought one (currently in transit). In any case, there are several other vendors that carry this model (as of today) in the same price range.

I have watched the last couple of days, and it is available, then not available, then available again... Now it is back ordered. What is going on with Amazon? It used to be reliable. I am beginning to think I need to start shopping elsewhere, too.

Hi Delorice, These are currently in stock. Please let me know if you see otherwise.

My Best Buy pre-order shows a release date of 10/25 so I wouldn't expect Amazon to be much faster. That being said, I do remember Google saying that they were available. Maybe their definition of "available" is different from ours...

I'm so sorry...I just checked with the Amazon warehouse and they said I didn't have anymore in stock. Some sort of error...Thanks for your inquiry. I apologize that I couldn't be more helpful to you.

I Googled them, and it appears as though they are available at your typical "chain" stores...maybe just leftover stock if they aren't making them any more, but you could try and then stock up on them:)

Hard to say for sure. We placed an order last week and got a reply from Amazon that they're now out of stock, and yet, Amazon says they have 3 in stock. Uh huh.

Third party sellers. Amazon probably doesn't have any in stock. If they get any more in, the price will go back to msrp.

Amazon is now claiming this won't be in stock until Nov 14. Hmmm... I needed mine this weekend.

Looks like 4 other vendors have beat Amazon to the punch and have them in stock now. I spoke to a Amazon rep a couple days ago she said they don't know when they will be in stock.
