Curse

Proff · May 08, 2009, 11:46 AM // 11:46

Finally decided to get myself an external hard drive so I can stop burning everything onto cds, but every place I go to seems to be way too overpriced selling them between 175-250$.

I'm looking for something like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822101133

But, unfortunately newegg does not ship here to Israel, so I'm hoping maybe someone on here knows a site that ships them internationally.

Thanks.

Hmm, try Overclockers. I know they do international, but not the details.

Sales - International +44 870 443 0880

Overclockers doesn't seem to ship to Israel, I searched around and found a couple places that do but the shipping cost ends up much more than the 30-50$ I'd save by not buying locally. Which is not that big deal I guess, so while I'm here I might as well ask which one I should get.

or

The 1TB Seagate costing about 40USD more than the Western Digital HD.

Thanks again.

Check it out.

Best to compare on the same site - (Newegg, just for comparison)
Seagate $150
Western Digital $140
Only a $10 difference - just take your pick, in my opinion. Customer opinions are mixed on both - Windows doen't seem to be really comfortable with eSATA yet (not a problem if you go USB2 or Firewire).

An afterthought: Have you considered Amazon? They certainly ship to Israel (see here http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...?nodeId=596198)

WD My Book 1TB eSATA/USB2/FW400 $145

Unless I'm missing something.

As for everything else tyvm for all the responses, I'll probably get it from amazon then, can't believe I didn't think of checking there.
