Im looking to pick up a 2-3 TB hard drive...so can someone help me pick one?

main thing being western digital or Seagate both seem just fine, price isnt so much of an issue sooo...

Reason for grabbing a 3TB is cuz if the diffrence is like 20$ i might as well right?

Kinda manditory here...would need to buy from best buy at 92020, Fletcher Parkway, its near where im going to be for a job interview so ima pick it up while im in the area

When buying one of the external hard drives, make sure they're either USB 2.0 or USB 3.0. If you have 3.0 then great, you have a better advantage over 2.0. Also format the hard drives to NTFS so you can accept larger than 4GB transfers at one time.

Western Digital - My Book 3TB External Hard Drive USB 2.0
It's USB 2.0 and apparently you get up to 480Mbps transfer speed.

Seagate - Backup Plus 3TB External Hard Drive USB 3.0
It's USB 3.0 but backwards compatible with USB 2.0

Seagate - FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 3TB External Hard Drive USB 3.0/USB 2.0
It's USB 3.0 but backwards compatible with USB 2.0

I highly suggest one of the Seagate hard drives. They both have USB 3.0 and are $10 cheaper than the Western Digital.
