Hey my current storage drive (just a regular 2tb western digital, had it for years) is starting to die.

Its making noises and rattling and It's not looking good! also its nerly full!

So I need a new drive for storage!

 

Could any one recommend a decent 3TB storage drive, doesn't need to be the best, its only used for storage purposes, so cheap as possible :D

Could be internal or external, don't really mind, but external might cause unnecessary noise.

 

Thanks!

3TB Seagate Barracuda. £90 on Aria. Had mine for a couple years, and had no problems.

 

I always go for Barracudas. Never had any problems whatsoever.
