    Neither this nor the Sweepstakes actually mentions when in February the contest will end, they just say, "February, 2014 9:00 PM PST"

    This is a refurbished drive, right? I mean, all OCZ drives eventually end up as refurbished, anyway.

    As much as I like free stuff, I really wish Tom's would stop supporting these blatant attempts to gather people's personal information.

    While the form states the Feb 14th date, the 'Official Rules' do not specify a date other that February, 2014. Therefore, a case could potentially be made that the contest is not over on the 14th, and the name drawn is not valid
