Author Topic: My father is giving me a 500gb external HDD! (Read 4270 times)

I'm pretty sure this counts as stuffposting.
Although a strong argument could be made that all posts about stuffposting are themselves stuffposting, so...

Anyway, my laptop has a 232 GB drive and I have 69.2 GB free.

I have a 2TB WD Elements external Hard Drive.

I have it to back up my computer (which has 500GB Hard Drive space) aswell as my parents laptop, which is incredibly old and very likely to break at any moment, as it has done multiple times and has lost files and photos stored on it.

Other than that though, I store excess games on it for my Steam Library, and some videos and things.

i don't even understand why people need 500GB even 250GB is too much

normally i'd agree but if i had a 250GB hdd then i'd only have 20GB of free space left
imo anything 1TB or higher is unnecessary unless it's being used as a backup, otherwise it's p much like buying 32GB of RAM

what's the point of external drives? just get another HDD for your computer.

They're much more portable.

People who play video games and record them. I used up all of my 500 gb HDD on my laptop before it died.
