Hey bighomedog,

For $25, I would say it is a good deal, and yes, it will provide alot of storage space, depending on what you use it for. If you plan on storing alot of pics, movies, games, etc, you will need to go bigger, but for everyday uses it is fine.

Yup , it really depends on what you use it for , 30gb is a hell of a lot in text files and photos ect , but for films and games ect it isn't that big.

Also if it is used then i wouldn't buy it , in that case have a look here:

A hole bunch of new HD's with 120/160 gb space between $50 and $75

I would advise against it, being used, just as Joe did.
