Hi does anyone know any decent and cheap 1TB HDD for storing games? I never owned a HDD before so I have no idea what specs to look for. I don't want to spend over £100. The cheaper the better pref under £50. Must be good 1TB or even more :)

Appreciate the help :)

Try a Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB or a Seagate Barracuda 1TB.

You generally want to be looking for a HDD that spins at 7200RPM, as it's the standard disk spinning speed for consumer desktop hard disk drives. Both the drives I recommend spin that fast and are the most reliable (and purchased) while being within your price range, meaning either will be the fastest load times possible for a hard disk drive while having the amount of space you need. good luck.
