Here is the graph--this is capacity on the x-axis, and GB/$ on the y-axis.

UPDATE July 2009 -- Thanks gamerman4

April 2009

It is definitely worth spending the money to get a 640GB hard drive. However, you get the most from your money with the 1.5TB hard drive. Sadly, the 2TB option is grossly overpriced and out of stock, and does not prove to be a viable option.

Best Everyday value: 640GB Samsung

$60 shipped

Best Overall Value: 1.5TB Seagate:

Nice. I'm going to stick this until the end of the month. Do you plan on updating it every few months?

Sure, if I'm remember!

I'd say 1.5 GB for $120 isn't the best value hard disk around atm!!

Do you mean TB?!?

**Cromewell** · 04-30-2009, 07:37 PM

Yes, it's supposed to be TB. I've updated the post.

**Cromewell** · 07-09-2009, 05:47 PM

I'm going to unstick this, if someone wants to update it send me a pm and I can edit the post.

Cool, it will be neat to have a record of this to look back on.

You should get a graph from like 1970. It'd be like One Soul / GB

26% of reviewers gave that Seagate 1 out of five stars, no great value there
