Thanks,seems like a lot less than when I checked.
1 tb used to be $200+
Pretty sure these come with some software to move the OS over to the new drive?

I will get a new one in 3 months or so.
Prices might drop a few dollars by then.

verz:
Hm.. just my two cents.

why not keep the OS where it is and migrate all other files to new HDD(s)?

Games don't need to be reinstalled...just copy and paste them over to new HDD and create a shortcut from the games EXE file to the desktop. Easy as pie. And theres no need to worry about file transfer speeds between internal hard drives as it's many times faster in comparison to games downloaded from cloud services such as Steam or Origin.

Like a year and a half ago, during the big hard drive shortage due to the Thailand flood? Before the flood, the prices were around the same as they are now, so you'd be going back about five years to find drives that expensive.

Might of been,since I never really checked prices too much.
I got my 300gb external hard drive for around $45?
That was 3-4 years ago.

It is this one:

Krudda:
Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing, must have been at least a good 5 or 6 years since you 'last checked prices'
Anyway, prices are apparently still a little high now, but where I live, that is not the case.

I can pick up a decent USB 3.0 3TB HDD for $139AU
If you don't want External, it is also very easy to take the 3.5" drive out and turn it into an internal :D

Good luck finding a good HDD
