[TJ]

Do you think it is worth it? I will be downloading movies, music, games, etc.

Will have XP as the OS.

So you think it is worth it?

Btw. the price is around 3-400$

1tb = 1000gb? my exchange student has that much and hes got torrents running a lot. depends how much your download im on 150 gigs and im fine

Ill be moving from my laptop that holds a max of 60GB to a desktop that will eventually 1 TB. and yes, 1 TB = 1000gb. I will probably do alot of torrents, and some other stuff.

but for 3-400$ i dont really see that as a bad price.

1 TB = 1000gb. .

Actually, 1 TB = 1024 GB.

I used to be on 80 gigs and i never worried about anything. It was plenty. Now im on 250 and i cant imagine even using half of it.

crapkiller its not that hard to use it up. my friend used up his 320gb in a couple of days and a 8gb flash drive in 5 hours with non worthless shit

new egg is pretty sweet. i find alot of stuff there..you should get a case with the money you would save

Its only worth it if your going to use it. How big is a movie a few gigs? If your going to be downloading hundreds of movies then get the TB. But I really don't think you will use that much and for much cheaper you can get a 500gb.

Well if your getting the hard drive to brag to your friends about how you have a TB then yeah defiantly get the TB

 

[TJ]

Im not getting it to brag, im getting it to use.

No sense on waisting money on something that i wont use. I plan on putting a shit load of movies on my computer and everything, so it will come in handy.

The max I'd pay for a TB is $300, if you can't get it for less i'd buy maybe 2x 320GB or 1x 500GB?

On new egg you can get them for like 220 i think something like that idk... that link above was either 220 or 320, cant remember. I think it was 320. but ya im on like a 150 hard drive and a 80 gig external.... and ive only used about 100 gigs so far over the course of a year. But i only have like 10 movies...so thats why. But i have like 10 gbs of music... so thats another reason lol

 

[porman]

Do it, im sure you have friends you can leach alot of stuff from too. youl be amased at how quick you can fill one, i got a 250gb external hard drive and its full. and non of its junk, just music, programs, tv shows/series, anime, you name it. and thats pretty damn cheep for 1tb, i payed $220 or so for my 250gb back in the day.

 

[Nampuuku]

i have a 2 TB one. its really good. i recommend it

Samsung 1TB SATA II 7200RPM 32M Instock $255.00

Definitely do not buy one for $400, ESPECIALLY if it is USD; my price is AUD.

I can actually get two 500GB 7,200 RPM hard drives for just over $100 AUD each. Honestly, you're being ripped off.

 

[MDS]

if you are planning to put it to good use, then yes its worth it 1000gb for 3-400 bucks is pretty swell.

Buy a heap over time and set it up in a JBOD array. Or if your so gung-ho about it buy 2 x 500 and set it up in RAID #. While you still have space use RAID 1 to backup your data. Then buy a heap and switch to JBOD or RAID 0 for massive amounts of space.
