Hi,

I currently have a SATA 3 Western Digital 500 GB HDD that's running low on free space.

I buy most games online thru Steam, so having to delete something just to download it again later, given my sluggish connection is a real pain, so I'm looking for a cheap 2 TB or bigger SATA HDD that would be reliable. Any suggestions?

I'm running real low on my 500gb HD as well, a 2tb would be awesome. Might have to pick one of these up.

you can also go for a 2 TB WD drive if you like your 500 GB one

The 3TB Seagate Barracuda are the best bang for buck, unless 2 TB prices have really fallen (don't know American prices).

Man, there were a few stores during Black Friday that had 3TB Seagates for $90. Still kicking myself for not getting them.
