Hey guys, I'm looking for a drive to store around 8TB worth of movies, tv shows and personal files. I was looking for a good external and the cheapest I could find in NZD was https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/HDDSEA3280/Seagate-8TB-Backup-Plus-Desk-Hub although I can't find any reviews on it at all after searching the name and product number. I looked at cloud options but for movies and tv shows it's not really a viable option i don't think.

 

Any opinions or alternative suggestions?

http://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#S=8000000 lots cheaper (usd)

Cheapest price for that in NZD is $425, I'm also out of internal slots in my psu. I already have 3 3TB Hard drives. This one is just to back them all up essentially.

both cheaper than the other one and maybe you can find a 3.5" external hdd enclosure here: https://www.newegg.com/Hard-Drive-Enclosures/SubCategory/ID-92

you'd save a bit of money btw.

NEver mind. Realized you are in NZD and that you wouldn't save anything (except for a few pennies) so go with what you had :)
