If this doesn't need to be ultraportable ( ie, leaving the office frequently
for field use, laptop, etc ) then I agree with you,  a full size external
USB cabinet can be had for around $30 from MicroCenter or Fry's , and a
500GB 7200 rpm 3.5" drive is down to the $50-$60 range, 1TB also barely
under $100.

What cost level you looking at sub $100 or more than $100.

 

Sam's Club had some WD pocket 1TB drives for about $119 USB 2 with case.  I
saw the larger WD 1TB for just under $100.  The $500 GB ones were about $90.
You could put one together for about $90 purchasing either Seagate or WD
drives and an external case for about $90 getting them from more traditional
hardware vendors like CDW.  LaCie has various sizes for the $85 to $120
depending on the size but you would be better off with the WD or Seagate
models in MHO.  WalMart should have about the same as Sam's Club.

Anyone got a suggestion for a good, but inexpensive external hard drive to
use for a backup drive? Need something around 500 gigs or so.

 

Thanks!
