Seagate busts out 3TB external hard drive for $250
Found on Engadget on Monday, 28 June 2010
As of today, those among us who value quantity over speed in our storage can buy a whole trifecta of terabytes in one solitary package.
It also comes with a USB 2.0 adapter that can be upgraded to USB 3.0 or Firewire 800, depending on your preference (and cash reserves).
Nice capacity, but USB2? It will take really long to fill this disk. It should also be mentioned that quite a few computers can't handle disks that size. That said, Seagate should have gone for USB3 by default since it is downward compatible anyway. Also, don't trust just one of those disks; 3TB of private backups are a lot, and you down want to lose them because a single drive died. Get at least two and store your data mirrored on both.
