Keep an eye on the Best Buy sales as they have a habit of putting their
Western Digital 8TB EasyStore units on sale for ~$150. These EasyStore
have drives that sell for more than that naked. Lots of folks "shuck"
the drives out of the plastic case to put into whatever. If you are
careful, you can manage not to destroy the case and put some other
smaller SATA drive in the case to use as an external transfer.

Considering buying an external hard drive, primary use would be DVR
(from Mythbuntu). Any preferences between Western Digital and Segate?
I've seen about as many reviews saying "this drive failed after x
months, lost my data, had to spend hours on the phone, and I had to pay
shipping to get it replaced under warranty" on both.
I've been considering a new computer as the existing is many years old
now, and had some issues turning it on occasionally when it gets turned
off. (So power supply likely starting to go.)
