If you’re in need of an external hard drive, now's the time to get searching as we near the best Black Friday tech deals. The latest price we’ve spotted that shocked us is $42.99 for a 1TB WD Elements USB 3.0 drive – absolute peanuts compared to what they used to cost a couple years ago. Nowadays, 1TB external drives typically go for about $50 - $55.
The drive comes in a 2.5-inch form factor and measures 0.59 x 3.23 x 4.35 inches. It’s also quite light at 0.29 lbs. Performance over USB 3.0 should be more than adequate for your expectations of this kind of a drive.
According to PCPartPicker, this is the lowest price this HDD has sold for yet. With deals like these, we start to wonder what Black Friday can still bring us.
