Portable external hard drives run off USB power, which is handy - but it usually means a lower disk capacity and higher prices.
Not today. Newegg has the Seagate 1TB backup more portable USB 3.0 hard drive for $ 79.99 shipped. It's after applying coupon EMCXWVV26 at checkout.
Now, anyone who follows the hard drives as I do need to get a hobby that 80 dollars for a 1TB drive is not at all spectacular. However, when you factor in his laptop (as opposed to desktop) the design and USB 3.0 interface, it is certainly much better than average.
In fact, I think I can say that for the same $ 80, I'd rather have a portable 1TB USB 3.0 Hard disk a 2 TB USB 2.0 Desktop. Especially this one: the backup is downright smaller, measuring only 4.9 x 3.2 x 0.6 inches and weighing only 0.44 kg.
And assuming your laptop has a USB 3.0 port for plugging in the drive which you are looking for a powerful fast performance. This is very handy when you try to save all the bits and bytes of data, something that the reader can do with its integrated backup software.
In addition, the player can be used interchangeably with PC and Mac, and in fact, you can even swap in Thunderbolt or FireWire connectors (sold separately). In addition, it comes with a two year warranty, which I particularly liked.
As it is a relatively new model, there are no user comments posted on Newegg right now. But at Staples, where the reader sells for $ 99.99 (plus tax), some 27 buyers rated 4.4 stars out of 5.
Here's your chance to catch it for $ 20 less.
Many Bonus: rechargeable batteries rule. Today only, and while supplies last, Pennywise.biz a Duracell battery charger GoEasy, 12 AAA and 2 AA batteries for $ 17.99 (plus a penny for shipping) when you use promo code dealnews1. That's less than half the price you'd pay for a set of similar others. Just do not expect super-fast delivery, I've read reports of some very slow recovery from this outfit.
