Title: Do these External Hard drives look good?
Post by: sleepin_dude_99 on December 30, 2007, 04:28:25 PM
They're the cheapest I could find, I'm mainly looking at price, otherwise, if they work, thumbs up. My budget is going to me no more than 120$...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822154150

That's 111$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822709018

114$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822173047

118$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822101031

112$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822709031

126$ (A little over budget, but it seems to be good)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822100008

123$ (This one is a little iffy, one person found it fine, the other found it horrible ;_;)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822204034

120$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822186046

129$ (A tad over budget, not by much, but it looks nice)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822101077

120$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817716022

125$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822154150

111$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822101030

120$

Alright, my general situation is that I get around 350$ for my confirmation and about 150$ from my birthday (both in 6 months or so), so yeah, I'm planning way ahead.

Just give me some ideas from that list for what I should buy.

User Reviews should ALWAYS be the thing you go to first before buying a product. (Unless it's a video game. >_>) Find the best one for your price range, and read the reviews on it. Then, if it's not right for you, go on to your second choice and repeat.

Have Fun!

Most of the reviews are half good, half bad.

I agree. My family, and church, have been using a LaCie Drive for a couple years now. The church one has had some power issues, but that's about it.

Shouldn't you be going by how much space you want, not by appearance?

They're all the same space.

I wanted a 500 Gigabyte hard drive.

Next was price.

Looks I really don't give a darn.
