Bacon Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 So I've been trying to get a new external HDD for a while, but I never had any money. However, I just won a $50 gift card to Best Buy in a school drawing, and I'm going to start saving up the rest. Does anyone have any suggestion on which brand or anything? I'm looking to spend under $100 if possible. Also, it kinda has to be at Best Buy, because of my gift card. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevnvek Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 This is what I got and I haven't been wanting of space for a long time now, but I can't find it at BestBuy. Although I do see USB 3.0 versions of it with 2TB of storage, for about the same price I got this thing for a year or two ago. Nice.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152254&cm_re=samsung_story_station-_-22-152-254-_-ProductIt's very well, sturdily built, and even has a power knob, which also (uselessly) makes the light brighter if you turn it further.Although my new computer has a 1TB HDD in it too now, so I think I have plenty of space. That 1TB is for Steam to fill up lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
