Cheapest external 1/2tb drive for windows?

[Tech Talk-Real Talk]

Looking for a 1/2TB external hard drive to keep photos and videos on?

Anyone know of a cheap one that is still decent quality?Didn't have much luck on ebay.

there isn't a huge difference in price between brands so i'd just choose the one on offer right now so long as it is a name with a reputation. going for 2TB will get you better value if you need that much storage

Couldn't you buy a regular hard drive (one you would put inside a computer) and buy an enclosure to make it an external HDD?

 

If not then what kind of price are you looking for? Cheapest one I could find is ~$50.

Yeah I may try that!

I was just thinking their would be a cheaper 1TB Hard drive since the 2TB are only 8/10 bucks more on ebay.

I think I am just going to try and buy a 2TB hard drive.

It would be wiser to tell us how much you are willing to spend so that we can recommend the best drive for the money.

You would have to get a laptop HDD, nobody wants to carry around a 3.5" HDD inside an even larger enclosure.
