WD MyBook alternative









Amidst the storming amounts of downloads every single moment of different data types and data sizes, it all boils down to 1 question. " Does my Hard Disk got the capacity to hold all this data?" well maybe yes maybe no. HD quality movie nowadays eats up from 1.5gb to 4gb per movie, which is, Yes eats up disk space just for a single movie, but ofcourse you can have a good quality movie with nice resolution etc.

One solution that you might think of is having it burn to your dvd-r or dual layer dvd's, another solution is use a kick ass WD myBook 1TB of disk space to your machine. Comes with 6 different edition type which suites your needs. But 1 Tb WD MyBook cost around 11k to 14k pesos here in our local stores in iloilo, well those are the current prices here in Iloilo City. Well things doesnt have to end up that way, as consumers we need to look for other alternative solution, a cheaper solution which leads us to solution number 3.

Go to your local computer stores and purchase a 1Tb internal sata drive 7200 rpm which I think cost around 7k to 7200 pesos, then look for an external HD casing which supports sata ofcourse, this cost around 1k pesos to 1500 or lesser but I choose the external case from Phillips, because I think its the only available external casing which suits my needs quality and money wise hehe...their you go, you got your hybrid internal sata with 1 Tb of disk space 7200 rpm converted to an external HD similar to Western Digitals MyBook.

1Tb WD sata HD 7200 rpm internal HD + Phillips external disk casing = WD MyBook... Similar size with a lesser prize...see yah next time!!
