Get This Deal

For just $210, below its 30-day average of $223.07, this hard drive sits in a reasonable zone. Its 90-day average runs $227.29 and the 180-day mark is $216.73, so today's tag is a touch under both.

It has traded as low as $196.05 and as high as $239.11 over time, meaning the current price is a middle-ground entry point rather than a floor.

What You're Getting

• 250 GB capacity on a fast 7200 rpm spindle
• Hot plug-and-play support for quick connect and disconnect
• Average seek time (read) of 9 milliseconds
• Transfer rate up to 25 Mbps over USB 2.0
• Compatible with Windows 98, 98SE, 2000 Professional, Me, XP Home, XP Professional, and Mac OS 8.6 or above with Mac OS USB version 1.3.3 or above

Who This Is For

Best for anyone running an older Windows or Mac system who wants a simple, plug-and-go external drive for archiving documents, photos, and install files. The USB 2.0 interface and 250 GB capacity suit secondary storage or a dedicated backup target, not a primary drive for modern, multi-terabyte workloads.

Skip this if you need cutting-edge transfer speeds or capacity beyond a quarter-terabyte.

Final Verdict

At $210. This is a practical option for legacy-system owners who want reliable removable storage without overpaying. If you need a USB 2.0 backup drive right now, the price is reasonable; if you can wait for a deeper drop toward the $196 low, that is your call.
