Title: Recommending a Hard Drive? Post by: Bedford Red on Sunday, March 24, 2013, 17:59:21 I'm getting myself a hard drive, preferably one with 2tb on it.
I'm fine with computers, but never had a hard drive before. I've seen this one below on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-STBV2000200-Expansion-External-Drive/dp/B0084LZI5Y Seems a good price for the storage space, but i'd happily pay a bit more if it means i'm going to get a more reliable hard drive. So, can anybody recommend any good makes etc? Any help gratefully received.... Title: Re: Recommending a Hard Drive? Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, March 24, 2013, 18:03:20 Seagate aren't bad. They took over Samsung's HDD business.
Western Digital are another brand to look out for. Title: Re: Recommending a Hard Drive? Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, March 24, 2013, 18:11:53 i'd be more than happy buying that HDD, storage prices are getting so cheap these days.

Supply is only just really returning to normal, plus popularity of solid state drives, is bringing prices down to a much lower level. |
