Big external hard drives
Are you looking for some large capacity storage for all those songs, movies and TV shows you have? External hard drives with 1 TB (1000 GB) have come way down in price. Tom’s Hardware reviews four offerings:
It’s been interesting to watch storage prices drop in recent months. Hard drives as large as 750 GB have already fallen below $100 and we expect terabyte models to be available at roughly that price during the holiday season. External hard drives used to cost significantly more than bare hard drives. But prices in this market segment have dropped as third-party vendors started offering custom-made storage solutions at more attractive price points than conventional drive makers. Leading hard drive manufacturers are offering some excellent external terabyte drives to satisfy your storage demands, and they’re priced at a reasonable $200 on average.
As usual for Tom’s Hardware, the review offers a lot of technical data about performance. The article concludes:
Our overall recommendation goes to SimpleTech’s ProDrive 1TB. Cost of all four products we tested is roughly equal at about $200, but the ProDrive SimpleTech provides the best feature combination: low power consumption, solid performance, four—not three—interfaces, and an impressive software bundle topped by online backup.
