External hard drive

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveNj US Post Number: 1833 Registered: Jun-06 | Is it just me, or is everyone else seeing the incredible price drop in external hard drives??? Just one year ago I bought a 200 gig external drive to store my movies and music on for about $300. (I love it). At the time, a good deal. Today, I can pick up a 250 gig drive for $100. Is there a difference in quality between an expensive drive and a budjet one, or is memory just memory? J/W |
