Paft Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Reviews seem pretty solid. You can get 4tb for £116.99 (as of this post)amazon.co.uk/Seagate-STBV4000200-Expansion-External-Drive/dp/B00BP5RL10/ref=sr_1_9?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1400681853&sr=1-9&keywords=external+hardriveReviews seem pretty solid. Just get that tbh.I bought a WD Elements 1TB USB 2.0 several years back for like £55 on Amazon. Seems fine.You could buy a reliable HDD and separate enclosure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paft Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Gotta love Amazon with their FREE DELIVERY option.Although saying that, it is also on ebuyer for exactly the same price and FREE DELIVERY too. Edited May 21, 2014 by Paft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paft Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) Unless your budget goes up you won't get a external 7200RPM 4TB for £100-120.That Seagate 4TB external is 5900RPM FYI. Not many 4TB are 7200, the ones that are go over your budget.I'm a PC gamer so I'm unsure of your usage. What are you storing on the external for the XBOX?Drop to 3TB if you want that 7200RPM.
