I need an external hard drive, preferably one of 1TB. I saw one on newegg for about $50 but the deal expired. I need a recommendation for one under about $75. Thanks.

I personally use a WD Elements 1.5TB. The 1TB version only cost 10$ less. It's my third WD Elements external and I'm pretty happy with them so far.

Quite frankly, the spinpoint f3 is the best drive on the market right now. At $0.055/GB, there are very very few drives which can beat that price/GB. If they do, they beat it with a 2 TB or 1.5 TB configuration or are at 5*00 RPM. It has better throughput (ie sequential read/write) than any other mainstream hard drive, including all of the caviar blacks, which often cost twice as much. The caviar blacks are better due to server related operations and general quality. Here's a crazy idea: get the spinpoint f3 for an internal, and convert your old hard drive into an external. If it's really old, it's IDE, in which case you can get a super cheap enclosure, and you can also better utilize the slow USB 2.0 interface (max is 40 MB/s, whereas spinpoint f3 can do 120 MB/s easy. Old hard drives cap at about 60 MB/s)..
If you don't want to deal with this shit:

$65 (was $50 just a few days ago).
To be honest, unless you need it now, black friday is coming up. It's pretty dumb not to wait until then, unless another $50 deal comes along.

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.[2024-4-26. : 6:50 pm]
NudeRaider -- VraelVrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city[2024-4-26. : 6:50 pm]
Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?[2024-4-26. : 6:49 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.
