Fragsman Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) 1) WD Elements 1TB USB 3.0 $949 http://www.wdc.com/sp/products/products.aspx?id=470#Tab3 2) Toshiba Canvio Basics 1TB USB 3.0 $919 http://latin.toshiba.com/computadoras/almacenamiento/portatiles/canvio-basics/ 3) Samsung M3 1TB USB 3.0 $918 http://samsunghdd.seagate.com/la/es/ a) Price is irrelevant because all look abou the same price so I just included for extra info. b) I'd go for 1) don't ask me why, I trust WD since they specialize in HDD. 2) is also a good option since I have a Toshiba Laptop and is just good, also is Japanese so I also trust. I just got touched because my friend had bad experiences with internal HDD of Samsung. 2 of them died so I really don't consider it. c) I've seen Verbatim, Touro and WD My Passport but the 3 previously mentioned are the most common. I'll definiely buy one of them in about 16hs from the topic creation, when I wake up tomorrow and go to the store. Funny Story: I had GTA V in office PC's and I couldn't copy because my Pen is 16gb and other is 8gb so I'm frustrated and get an external HDD ASAP. Edit. Thank you!

El_Capitan Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Some alternate choices because I never get external HDD's: 1. Get a good reliable internal HDD, and get an external HDD enclosure with a USB adapter. Icy Dock makes some good stuff for that. That way you have a cheaper, but more reliable HDD. 2. Start moving towards SSD's. While more expensive, they are lighter, and a lot faster. I get 256GB mSATA SSD's (which you can find at $90 USD during sales), and get a mSATA to USB 3.0 adapter like this: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CJE7BRA/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or this: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AYIDDMA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 While it's a little bigger than just getting a USB 3.0 Flash drive, it's also much faster and more versatile. As far as your choices, Samsung's basically Seagate rebrands now. I would probably go with the WD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I never saw that.. I barely imagine how that works. I want basically a BIG BIG Pen drive. I could use as backup Either if my HD or this External Drive die I got a backup from the other. And I also want it for cases where my 16gb can't help me move information. For example my curent objective Move GTA V (60gb) from the computer at office to the computer at my home. I think my option is more "portable" than messing with 1 SSD and 1 Adapter Chip (that I really dunno how it works ) So for now I'll stick to simple choices, I don't really need something very advanced or super speed.

El_Capitan Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 My options are really simple, though. 1 HDD with an enclosure that has a fan and a USB connector, or 1 mSATA SSD with a USB 3.0 adapter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragsman Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Hahah yes I probably don't even know what's the correct techincal translation for "HDD Enclosure" I doub't I can find that thing easily and prices are more expensive due to import taxes which are high and also dollar conversion which by today is killing us since it is very expensive.

Fragsman Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I bought the WD and is really fast. I like it. Today was a crazy day. When I went to store 40km away from home I hooked a girl up in the bus.. I gave her my "presentation card" (dunno what's the correct translation) but then she asked for my Whatsapp number and I gave it to her with one number wrong (yeah.. I am THAT stupid) she was cute and nice we had a lot in common.. too bad her FB is closed so I cannot look for her. She is the only one who can search me on FB because I gave her my card but I doubt because I passed my Whatsapp number wrong. Shit happens .. but only to me..
