Seagate 1T Drives: $65
 

There seems to be many ads this week for Terabyte storage drives. Target had WD 1T and 2T drives for something like $85.

Staples on-line only (free ship to store) has Seagate 1T drives for $81.99 (there is a $17 coupon for good for up to 10 drives applied during checkout) resulting in the $65.

SEAGATE 1TB EXPANSION HD Item No.: 827288

Stay away from Seagate. They have had a rough row the past couple years. They have been getting better but still a crapshoot. Get WD Caviar blues for a solid reliable drive.

Good 2TB drive for 80 - only 5400rpm but big efficient platters (I have one)

One of the best 1TB drives for 90 - FAST - Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Read the reviews of the Seagate .11 series : Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive Downright scary drive losses.

JR: the ones mentioned are the USB external storage drives for massive amounts of data (picture) storage not internal HD, does that change the opinion of them?

if you are just looking for a new drive give a ssd a try..... screaming fast(10 second boot up) then use the platters for storage

I just picked up a LaCie 2tb External for $125....I had good luck w/ a 2Tb Lacie in the past so I picked up another one......their customer service is also very good. I had a drive fail in my external before and they shipped me a new external drive instead of fixing my old.

Works well for what I'm using it for.

Sorry - didn't see external :hihi: . They use the same drives inside external ones as well. I have a Seagate Freeagent 1TB external that is mediocre at best and has had to be reformatted a few times due to errors.

Much better off with WD externals too.

I think Newegg has a WD 2Tb External for $99 right now....almost went w/ it over the LaCie.....

Make that $105 for a 2Tb

and $90 for a Recertified....

Target has WD 1T and 2T drives for something like $85 this week.

That is a sweet deal.....
