best priced mechanical hdd

[poker_999]

I need a bigger hdd for all my **** steam games that I bought and have no intention of playing in humble indie bundles.

the prices seem insane though. I know the country that makes them got flooded but they could have built the new factories in another country by now.

So what's your question?

If you want advice on what to buy then what storage capacity HDD are you looking for?

its in the title.

what is the best priced mechanical hdd

 

[Surveyor]

The best priced (i.e. cheapest) mechanical HDD at OcUK:

Samsung SpinPoint M8 160GB 5400RPM SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM £43.99

But I'm pretty sure that's not what you're after.

Please be more specific with your requirements.

fastest disk with most gigabytes for the cheapest priced.

like that 160gig is terrible, i bought a 7200 32mb cache 2tb drive NEW for £15 more last year.

Them requirements are ridiculous, most of them are mutually exclusive.

What is important, price (if so budget?), storage size (if so minimum required gb/tb?), speed?

You don't say

You asked for the best priced and that's the best priced

fastest disk with most gigabytes for the cheapest priced.

I'm not being awkward but you must have more specific requirements on how much you want to spend and what storage capacity drive you want.

If you state those then we can find the best performing drive that meets those requirements.

Try these:

Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM £99.98

Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM - OEM £104.99

If they don't meet your requirements in some way then you'll have to say so.
