I am looking to buy a few things, and would like to find an online vendor with good quality products at good prices. 1. 2 External Hard Drives (500+ GB), Portable is a plus but is not necessary. 2. Wireless Home Router (must be compatible with Windows 7, this is for my father and his old one took a shit). Any suggestions would be great! ---

I have one of these hard drives and my GF has one also…Very portable and work really well. I’d recommend them. They are all the same just different colors.

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > Newegg…I don’t even bother looking elsewhere exaclty. once i bought a laptop from [tigerdirect.com](http://tigerdirect.com), that was from CompUSA when they closed up shop and send shit back to teh manufacturers, but had to mark everything as used… so i got a refurbed laptop that was never really refurbed… for mad cheap. Otherwise newegg for everything. Unless newegg doesn’t sell it, like my megahalem cooler. ---

The 7200.11s maybe, I know Seagate had trouble with them. Seagate however has a 5 year warranty on almost all their drives. I don’t think I’ve had a problem yet with Seagates. Then again I got WD externals from like 5-6 years ago that are still running 24/7. ---
