Best 1TB External Hard Drive from Western Digital

By


Since the first terabyte hard drive launched about 3 years ago, there are two major developments on external hard drive technology:

  • Cost per gigabyte, more manufacturers have released 1 Terabyte hard drive. Not just the same old player such as Seagate, Hitachi, and Western Digital but there are many new players with good technology such as Samsung, Toshiba, Iomega.
  • New connectivity for faster transfer rate. USD 3.0 will significantly improve transfer rate. Even though this is only apply to new gadget/computer, you can go wrong investing in peripheral with USB 3.0

At this time just like any technology product, you can get external hard drive at cheaper price (I’m sure the price will still go down). But if you look at the cost per gigabyte, the 1 Terabyte external hard drives is the most economical. And Western Digital offers one of the cheapest 1TB external hard drive capacity.
