I'm looking for some mass storage options.I want to store things that are not frequently used programs or files in something that's not my ssd's. I currently have a 500gb 970 evo that I boot from and a 1tb 970 evo I use for games and frequently used programs. I don't want anything over the top expensive for this. What are my best options under $250?

I mean, just get any 7200 rpm drive from a known brand. You can get 8-10 TB from buying a hdd.

My vote: Shuck an Easystore! Cheapest way go get mass storage, the WD Whites inside them are the same quality as WD Reds and only carry a year less warrently.

 

8TB: https://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-EASYSTORE-EXTERNAL-WDBCKA0080HBK-NESN/dp/B073LK1F6X

 

10TB: https://www.amazon.com/WD-Easystore-External-Drive-Flash/dp/B07KCPN2XS

 

This saves you a lot of money for the 2nd highest quality drive WD sells.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

Wall Of Fame (Informative people/People I like): @Glenwing @DrMacintosh @Schnoz @TempestCatto @LogicalDrm @Dan Castellaneta
