Look at your local target, I picked up a 1TB Mybook essential for $24.95 on clearance last week.

Micro Center - 1TBBLACKARMOR 1TB BLACK ARMOR EXT. DRIVE Seagate Technology $119 this is a good deal for seagate.

For $89.99 you can go with this one http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0315536 Hitachi SimpleDrive 1TB Turbo USB 2.0 External Hard Drive

or like xoat said 1.5 TB $94.99 http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=208503758 but this is low quality.

or what switch998 said check target for 1TB Mybook essential for $24.95 clearance they might have some left.

Check on slickdeals. Occasionally they'll have a 1TB External for as low as $60 if you snatch it in time.

Has anyone else found the 1TB's on clearance at Target? Mine didn't have any yesterday when I went. I called 4 other Targets around the area and all of their employees were confused about what I was looking for. I'm going to check out some other Targets around the area this week.

Don't get a cheap one... It will break
