NOT fun. Yeah I have. Two Wii games to an external 100gb, so ~9gb, like 20 mins… I think I am just going to grab the $74 one, and then maybe that $20 dock that slack suggested in Joey’s thread, for my extra backup drives. I probably grab another RAM chip while I am at it, NewEgg has some awesome deals. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-me-pick-a-hdd/247275)._
