portable hard drive 2tb seagate image
K
I've never had an external hard drive and really need to get one - I have a whole bunch of pictures and music I don't want to lose one day. I don't want anything that's really big, I don't need terabyte storage, I don't really have movies or anything. What's a good brand of hard drive, that's a good price? Can I get something for around the $50 mark?
Thanks for your answers!
Answer
seagate or western digital.
how to choose a drive:
Desktop: these are slightly bigger than a normal HDD, USB2 and USB 3 are the cheapest versions. USB 2 being slower around 30MB transfer speeds, and USB 3.0 (you need a USB 3.0 slot) running at around 80MB transfer speeds. you can run a 3.0 on a 2.0 slot and vice versa, they will just run slower. Desktop drives require a plug to power them, so you cant take them with you.
Portable. These drives are usually more expensive then a desktop type drive, you usually get 2 USB plugs that you need to plug in and that's were they get the power from, they do not require a plug to power them. they are usually much smaller too.
i got a Seagate Expansion, was the cheapest USB 3.0 i could find that was 2TB (around £55 in UK). you will find different model lines, just go with the cheapest.

Which portable hard drive would you get? Which is a better deal when thinking about space and price?
yo mama ha
Toshiba Canvio 750 GB $84
Seagate FreeAgent 1 TB for $120
Which one should I get? I don't know if 1TB is worth paying the extra money. Is it THAT much more space? Is it worth paying extra for 1TB or should I go with the 750 GB?
Answer
May I suggest another,
Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 2TB USB 2.0 Black External Hard Drive - $120 + Shipping
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148579
It seems that for extra shipping cost and shipping time, it is a upgrade from 1 TB to 2 TB.
As for the original 2 choice, I would go for the Seagate too, mainly for the extra space. (But, $35 increase for 250 GB is pretty expensive.)
