Best non-costly 1TB HDD
 
I've been thinking about trying to get some upgrades done on my computer. Highest priority is a new hard drive. I have less than 5GB left... Does anyone who has built a computer know a good 1 Terabyte on-board hard drive anywhere under the price range of $80-$100 that I can buy online? Because that's all I can find, and I want to try and keep it a little cheaper than that if I can...

By on-board hard drive, do you mean HDD...? Anyway, since you're going to be using your computer for gaming, just get a 500GB HDD. 1TB is overkill if you're not a huge video editor or anything like that.

Try this, whenever it's in stock: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148136

Umm, it says that hard drive has been discontinued and might not restock :0

i was about to recommend a wd green drive, but people on newegg are saying they're not reliable. my ****ing ass, my hd has been going strong since 2008. perhaps the newer ones are less reliable, i dunno.

HDDs are just one of those things man... can crap out on you after a month of use, or last you for years and years :( I wouldn't risk it though.

Except if he wants to store a lot of stuff :P As far as I know you only need SSD for your OS install, for quick boot-up. Afterwards you use a large HDD for everything else.

They are also good for loading games fast. For mass storage I recommend usb3+external hd. Large internal drives are for noobs.

In 5 years you can probably get a 1TB HDD for 30$ :(
