Which series did you have and what did you use them for?

1 640BG (I forgot if it was caviar green or blue) and 2 caviar blue 2TB. I used those HDDs as extra storage space for animes.

Well i am getting my book essentials 3TB for less than $200 so elements is bound to be less than $200 since it is always cheaper even on the Western digital site. I'll confirm it anyways. :)
abc cuz:
my WD my book essential 3tb just crashed today. might be recoverable, but i've only had it a year and its always had problems (like making my computer not start when it was plugged in on start up and just generally freezing up a lot) so i'll probably go for an elements one next, you guys seem to have done a lot of research. i just hope i can get the files back, gonna miss 2tb of straight anime if i cant :,(

A 7 page thread and still havent decided? jeez how much research do you need for an external? The only question you really need to ask is: are there any lemons on the market atm, and as i said, no.
And whats wrong with the advice I gave, thats pretty much the checklist you'd go through for buying an external, the one i missed out was 2.5 vs 3.5 for portability.
please tell me what more do need to research for an external
EDIT: and pricing for a 3tb should be around 150ish, 2tb are around 100ish. (usd)
