    I'm looking for a cheap external hard drive between 500gb to 750gb. Any good deals around?

    You are about a day late for the best sales. I know there were a few nice 1 TB deals going yesterday. You might get lucky with some Cyber Monday sales, though most online retailers had specials yesterday.

    Just to add - Aldi may have some HDDs - but only limited quantity at certein times.
    We've got 4 of their HDDs - no problems at all.

    (500GB is the largest we've got at the moment in a single drive)
