I've been thinking I need at least one of these, and have found some for under a hundred dollars again. Should I do it?

In this hobby? Yeah you can never get too much hard drive space. Amazon has several 2TB drives under $120.
I have several (both internal and external) of 1TB or more. I like keeping backups and I don't feel like pushing it all up to "the cloud". ;D I probably go a bit overboard really but if you have like a full mame rom and CHD set and a bunch of other consoles plus artwork and preview movies for your frontend and maybe a nice big mp3 collection and family photos/video... Yeah even that 2TB can fill up quick. Once games started using optical media the rom sets started getting huge if you're into that sorta thing.

---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, I forgot about the goblins. Thanks PBJ! Back to 3.5" floppies for me...

3Tb Seagate at Costco for $119 right now (it's an external, but you can just rip it out of the enclosure, it's SATA III 7500 rpm).

Nah, dude, a goblin will rape your family at night if you buy one right now.
Is that what I've been seeing at night outside my window!!?

Hmmm. I have no membership there, as I don't buy enough stuff to warrant it. I'm not seeing that on the site, though. 1TB for $219.
The other thing is that I'm still on XP....though am contemplating 7.....too many things relying on each other to get anything done......

I finally blew the dust off the last clearance drive I got (1.5TB for $30).
Yeah, them were thi days, huh.......

i was thinking windows 7 (or xp64) too but the upgrade to windows 8 seems very cheap and it's right around the corner.
i just picked up a 2tb drive for $120, couldn't be happier
