I assume he means it is a so-called "portable" external drive which is powered via USB - although I had one of these some time ago that required two USB ports which was sort of annoying.

Slutty's post, below, is correct, I do mean the small external drives. They're the kind that are powered through the USB cable itself rather than needing a separate power source. Sorry for the confusion... | |

For UK users, Western Digital Elements 3 TB external drive currently £92.99 (GBP) on Amazon. I think that's the cheapest price I've ever seen for a 3TB drive and way down on the £145 I paid for the exact same drive about 14 months ago. I'm getting a bit nervous about the noises my oldest 5 year old iomega 1TB is making at start up and the fact I have to turn it back off and on again before it gets going so I thought time to buy another drive and make back ups of my old 1 and 1.5TB drives. I have some stuff on there from sites that are no longer around that I certainly wouldn't want to lose. I'm perfectly happy with my previous WD Elements so had no hesitation about buying another particularly at that price. | |

Got a good laugh out of this - A 4 TB drive on Amazon for $190. That's less than I paid for my first 120 gig drives years ago. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

I've read on a good number of tech forums that there are a lot of people who don't trust the technology and mechanics that allow more data per platter. That might be making the lower capacity drives more popular and capitalism dictates that more popular means higher cost. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

Very true. But it can be hard to tell the exact reason for a lower cost or a sale. Glut of relatively unpopular products that aren't so good? Or did they stock too many of an older model that's being updated but it's still a decent product? Hard disk drives are a very good value in terms of cost per amount of space, but the nature of how they operate--parts moving at very high speed and reaching high temperatures--sets them up for eventual mechanical failure.

I learned that lesson a long time ago. As a good and proper hoarder, I save everything. I mean everything. One of these days I'm going to take all my backup hard drives out of the safe and take a picture of them. There's got to be about 40 drives in there now, some of them dating back to when a 120 gig was a big deal. And they don't include the half dozen external drives I keep on a shelf. It's a sickness, really... Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

Just picked this up yesterday on Amazon, if the price is still there, grab it. WD My Book Essential 3 TB for $120 That's $40 a TB and beats the others in $/TB. Not sure how they are if you have them hooked up all the time, but great as offline storage. Been using them since 2008 from starter 750 GB, lots of 2TBs and now on my 2nd 3TB. | |

I paid over $120 for 2 TB, and thought I was lucky. Now you get 3 TB for a cheaper price. The HDD price surge from the 2011 flood in Thailand is finally over. | |

Yeah some great prices are around finally back to how it used to be, if not better cause usb 3.0 is here. I just bought a Touro 1Tb drive for just over £50, they look so small which is great to carry around. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand."
