It appears good to me. I bought one a while back and it was 200. But get more opinions before you make your decision.
$99 for a 1TB sounds good. That is approx $200 in stores near me (If not more!). So if I needed one I'd buy that! EDIT: What on earth do all you people fill your HD up with? I'm on my laptop, 320gb hard drive... It WAS full but thats because I had a crapton of umm... backed-up DVD's saved on it. I removed them and now have plenty of room left...
Definitely a good deal. Good luck trying to fill it all though. ^_^ I look at it this way, when you buy it, it will depreciate. So the better deal, the less it depreciates. And That is about the best deal you can get for that price.
I agree with everyone its a good deal. From experiance its better to go with a brand name exteral hard disk incolsure. I have seen plenty of no name ones just breaking. 1T is heaps now days unless you do lots of movie editing or music stuff.
Yay thanks! I figure 1TB is good because I'm really never going to fill it up, but the 500gb ones are really only like 10 or twenty bucks cheaper, so it's a good value. And 1.5TB is definitely way too much. I take alot of really big photos, and it'd be nice to be able to store them as well as all my....uh...backed up movies
If you take a lot of big photos like you say I'd go for bigger than 1 TB. My dad is a photographer/videographer and his Mac Pro has almost 30 TB in External Drives, he can still fill up almost a whole TB with like less than 100 files. So my advice is to never be conservative with your Hard drive space, because files are just getting bigger and bigger.
Ooer now that makes me nervous. I think I'll stick with 1 TB because I fill up a 4-gig sd card in maybe 2-4 shoots, so figure 2gb per shoot max. Assuming I use up, say, 600gb of school stuff, music, etc, that's still 400gb, or 50 shoots' worth of room. If it's not enough, well, by the time I need more, HDDs will cost significantly less Also, it was hard enough convincing my dad to buy me this, lol. Yay! Ordering now.
