paisley Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 all I know is I hear stories of big drives working now (as opposed to big drives a few years back)go the the online shopping sites and check the reviews, see a good bunch of write-up check another site to see if the info matchesback to the french brandy...

questcequecest? Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 cully, i'd watch for sales at the big stores, unless you're morally opposed to that.i also stick to better known brands, like seagate or western digital, but really, what do i know?i thinkg you should be able to find 500GB for about $200. (i'm also keeping my eyes out for a good deal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backbacon Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I like to deal with tigerdirect.ca. They always have some good deals on. Shipped to you in a couple days. I got a 500G internal for $129.. came to about $160 w tx and shipping. You could probably get a 300G external for a little over a hundred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I just got a 320 Gig Western Digital for about 80 and then the enclosure (thermaltake) was 40. It works great and I'm using it to back up my pc to reinstall the works. I'll probably use it to clean up my mac after I clean up the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 i just picked up a 250 GB seagate with SATA (not sure what that is but i think its good) for about $90. in korea though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 SATA ... if you have SATA support in your computer you should also have an ESATA port which would plug into the ESATA port on your enclosure and it's WAY faster than USB 2.0. You should still have a USB 2.0 port on the enclosure if you don't have SATA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
