Just picked up a 2TB WD Elements USB 3.0 External SSD for 39.99. That means it's like a tenner per 500GB... A Fiver for 250GB...

Only gonna use it to backup my youtube channel videos and stick it in a drawer, but for that price??? Fuck me - I remember the days when a 40GB Solid State slow 5400 RPM drive would cost around £500.00 !!!

Cunt complain... Just amazed at how cheap its become

I'm still using floppies, when did they come out with hard drives?

Personally I don't like external drives. I have had a few in the past that either simply stop working or the drive isn't recognised by the PC. Sometimes the cable causes issues othertimes, I don't know.
The last one that did this was a WD drive.

Thats a shame. I have always been a fan of the WD SSD drives. When I first got my iMac (12+ Years ago) I got a WD 'Passport' to use as my 'Time Machine' - Time Machine is a mac thing, which means it's always connected and always backing up in the background whenever you make any changes... So operating 24/7...

A few years in, I needed a 1TB drive cause I had more stuff on my mac so I got a WD Elements 1TB. That has also worked flawlessly in the background.

I never turn off the iMac at all, so when I walk past it at night, I can see the little light flickering away... I still use the original 500GB to transfer large files between my iMac and PC (Its formatted to fat32 so readable by both) and its still fine.

So when I saw the amazon advert pop up, saying 2TB for just £39.99 I jumped at it. Its now gone to £54.00, but I guess I got some deal or other...

But don't be put off the WD elements brand. I think its pretty good really. OK, no backup drive is guaranteed 'PERFECT' But I wouldn't hesitate to purchase that make again, if I needed another
