USAA agrees to insure HDS5

For you military and dependants. This might come in handy.

After a long winded, research intensive conversation with an underwriter at USAA, I finally got them to agree (in writing) to qualify the HDS under my "computer" insurance policy.
I already had a flat rate policy with them for $10,000 to insure my MacBooks and home PCs so I didn't have to pay an increase, but I think I pay $7/mo for the policy. But if you're just insuring the HDS it will be cheaper.



While the protection plan from West Marine is cheaper at $77/ 3 years it eventually expires. The insurance policy is good for as long as you want it. It also covers theft, which WM won't.

Hope this helps some of you. If you're not with USAA, at least call your insurer and ask. It can't hurt
