Given a choice of buying a 120GB official MS HDD for 3.5k and a 2.5" 250GB any brand external HDD, for say 2.8k, which would you prefer and why?

brickhouse said:that is another thing and a personal choice
hell if i wouldn't ever go for an external option as i hate the whole idea
and the discussion was more about accessories costing more not which you would like
sure the price is less but i just hate external HDDs
i didn't ever reply as it was for me or anythingEthan_Hunt said:It's not about you, remember? This suggestion was made to xXx. He found the official accessory to be costly whereas JTAG gave you the "alternative" to broaden your choice and invest in something which works out more cheaper than the MS HDD. Besides, one could always get a 250GB or 500GB, mod it and put it into a MS HDD casing and use that.

the first sentence was the general opinion and the latter were for your post asking which one would i prefer.please try to interlate the questions and the answers
Ethan_Hunt said:My question was posed in a very specific way to get the obvious answer out of you. The statement you made earlier "alot of PEOPLE don't LIKE AN EXTERNAL USB drive" seemed to be very vague and out of context. I'm not sure why you even made it in the first place. A lot of people don't like a lot of things, so what?
My question was merely rhetoric, which you again failed to understand, and went on to state what "you" felt about external HDD. Try to separate your preference and then make a statement like "alot of PEOPLE don't LIKE AN EXTERNAL USB drive". Else it would only be read as "I don't LIKE AN EXTERNAL USB drive", capice?
There you go. Now was that so hard?brickhouse said:YEAH I DON'T LIKE THEM AND ALOT of other people also like them what i meant
yeah some would go for them and also the low price but i just hate them sitting standalone in my living room.i like one solid piece of hardware
I never said that everybody hates the external drives.Ethan_Hunt said:There you go. Now was that so hard?
Regardless of your hatred for the USB drives, do take into consideration what others may like as well. For the record, Andy (xXx) already has a 1TB external drive. Problem is that he just wants to come up with an excuse to dodge getting a 360. :bleh:
Just kidding.
brickhouse said:its just that you were speaking as if just because the price is low,people will jump onto the external drive wagon
i never said you forced anyoneEthan_Hunt said:Excuse me? I didn't force anyone to buy anything. I already knew he had an external HDD and hence made the suggestion. As much as I would like to sit & listen to your petty squabbles, I'd suggest to just drop it and save the thread from further derailment.
