| Feb 22, 2017 at 15:31 | comment | added | MoritzLost | @BigElittles Have you found anything? I'm fine with a link dump really, I just need a place to start, I'm not sure what to look for (i.e. important specs, what brands are good et c.) | |
| Feb 22, 2017 at 15:31 | comment | added | MoritzLost | @NZKshatriya I'm looking for a capacious hard drive ;) | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 18:00 | comment | added | NZKshatriya | If you want "large" you could always look for a mid 90s Quantum Bigfoot :P. But hey, Seagate has announced a 16TB 3.5" HDD, with a tentative 2018 release date. | |
| Jan 31, 2017 at 21:40 | comment | added | BigElittles | I've been able to find them with an enclosure in your price range, but having a hard time confirming if they ship to Germany. If it's still unanswered tomorrow I'll take another crack at it. | |
| Jan 31, 2017 at 21:27 | comment | added | MoritzLost | @Mark well that's still in the acceptable range. I don't need external enclosure, I'm looking for an external HDD after all | |
| Jan 31, 2017 at 21:22 | comment | added | Mark | No recommendation, just a note: the cheapest 5TB hard drives I've found are around 140€, and that's just for the drive -- no external enclosure or anything. | |
| Jan 31, 2017 at 20:13 | comment | added | MoritzLost | @BigElittles See my last bullet point. 'I don't want something that is always on'. My current external HDD is permanently plugged in, but I only turn it on when I need to access the files on it or do fresh backups. | |
| Jan 31, 2017 at 20:08 | comment | added | BigElittles | Quick question. Is this drive going to be used for archive or plugged in and spinning most of the time? The price difference between a NAS and archive rated drive is YUGE! | |
