2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim USB 3.0 Portable External HDD for $70 (many colors)
With holiday travel and more photo-ops, more storage may be needed. If so, help is on the way at the Trending eBay Deals, where NewEgg’s eBay store is offering the new condition 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim USB 3.0 Portable External HDD for $70 with free shipping. It is available in four different colors with a limit of five per customer. If you are fond of color-coded back-ups, it’s a party 🙂 Over 1200 units got sold so far.
This looks like it has been price-matched at Amazon by Amazon itself where it is available in five different colors with a limit of five per color (not sure if it’s five per color or five total)… UPDATE: it looks like it is five per color, I added five of two different colors and it shows a $700 total (ten times $70), however I did not place the order, so I don’t know if there’s a snag there. This is poor blog, can’t be buying things by the ton like Consumer Reports just for testing purposes 🙂
While we are on the topic of storage, Best Buy’s eBay store is offering the new condition 5TB WD My Book External USB 3.0 Hard Drive in the black color scheme for $120 with free shipping with a limit of one per customer.
