Forums - PC Discussion - Hard Drive Thoughts Needed

My storage is full and I'm needing a new HDD. Looking to get a 2 TB (no room to RAID smaller drives). I found a Hitachi drive for $150 (Canadian dollars) which is much cheaper than anything else. Are Deskstars decent drives or will I be sorry about the bargain? Has anyone found a better deal or a price that's close on a better brand?

2 TB for $150? I've gotta say something's fishy about that...



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I stick to Western Digital for my HDDs.

Where did you find this price, out of curiosity?

Newegg. Didn't want to post link since it would look like spam. There's cheaper drives there but they are 5400 RPM.
