Overnight priority shipping? I wish I could get a couple of 2 TB hard drives.(hopefully for 80dollars each

You'd have to pay some drug addict to steal them to get them for that price.

I bought a 1TB external HD for 49€ on tuesday. In these parts that was a jolly good deal. Although the transfer speed through USB2 is annoyingly slow compared to the USB3 HD I built earlier, after all, even though I considered the USB3 also disappointingly slow when I was using it.

What transfer speeds do you get using USB3?

I'm getting around 21MB/s write speed on this one (nah, it wasn't overnight.. took a day I think).

My price was only a little cheaper than what I can buy it for normally (and this "special" was from an otherwise generally expensive site), but it's still considered a pretty good buy here. That fact that I could have it with just a click or two made me buy it.

I didn't have time to make lunch this morning but my team got pizza so it kinda panned out nicely.

I'm also getting that same 21MB/s with the USB2 drive. The USB3 drive sports around 51MB/s. I was expecting it to give rates identical to those between internal drives, which are some 20MB/s more, at the very least (well, between my sata and old pata drives, anyway).
