Thinking about upgrading my media storage, perhaps getting some small 2.5" drives now that they are capacious enough to meet my needs. Anything decently priced in the 2TB realm? I figured two or three of those would be grand. Depending on finances this coming month, might be able to upgrade all at once. Maybe not. Either way, hit me with the deals.

Why are you limiting it to 2.5's? Here's a Seagate deal-a 2 TB Seagate Slim for $120.

Space. I have a two bay 3.5" case that isn't terrible, but 3.5" drives tend to be bigger, louder, and cost about the same for 2TB anyway.

Edit: Well, $80-$110 for 3.5" and $120 for the 2.5" (maybe I'll get lucky and see one for $100).

Thanks. Got me looking. According to the forum, only $103 at Amazon right now.

You're welcome!

I just recived mine. Nice case, very small. FWIW, compared to the non-slim version, the external interface is USB only. The previous Backup Plus had a little snap-on usb thingy that could be replaced with Thunderbolt or FW. Probably not a worry to most. Easy to pry the case apart with credit card and small flathead screwdrive. Drive inside is a SATA 2tb 2.5" 9.5mm Sam-gate ST2000LM003, which doesn't appear to be available as a bare drive.
