Etch5 0 #1 May 14, 2009 Looking to pick up an external hard drive and figured this was a good place to seek opinions - God knows there are plenty of them floating on here... Looking for something around 250GB and found this sale http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8901174&type=product&id=1215819877874. Too good to be true? Or is this something worth buying? Otherwise I figure to buy a Seagate or WD of the same size for about $80ish... Thanks people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 8 #3 May 14, 2009 You get what you pay for. Im never going to buy a non WD external again. You can look it up, some of those no-name branded drives actually have WD drives in the case."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
