ReplyDeleteThe post is really helpful in selecting external(portable) hard disks. Personally I am thinking to buy one from last 1-2 months.
ReplyDeleteOne suggestion I would like to share with you. Please use COUNT NUMBERS (1 to 10) for mentioning the headings. Then they would be much familiar with the readers to differentiate.
By the way it's a great and neat post.
Wow great external HDD, i can't believe that it can available in that attractive prices.. i would buy a HDD soon.
ReplyDeleteI started using cloud storage services like Google Drive and Dropbox. Quite convenient if you don't have tons of music and video files to backup.
ReplyDeleteWell i like all the above HDD, all are awesome but mostly i'll go for cheapest one.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about buying one, WD 500 GB and 1Tb are the options for me,but i think i should go with 1 TB version as it is just 2k price difference.
ReplyDeleteSeagate Expansion 500GB is attractive - I like its simple and slim design and it's only $70, I wanna get it!
