Get This Deal

For just $194.78, down from its list price of $199.99. The 30-day average on this drive sits at $199.98 and the 90-day average is $198.60, so this is a rare moment where the price dips under the $195 mark. The all-time low is $174.97, but this is still the best price in recent months.

What You're Getting

The Seagate Showcase adds 1 TB of storage to any compatible DVR via USB 2.0 or eSATA. It holds up to 200 hours of HD content or 1,000 hours of standard-definition recordings. The drive runs quietly, making it a good fit for living rooms and bedrooms where fan noise is a distraction. It also works with media center PCs, karaoke jukeboxes, and home theater setups.

Who This Is For

Best for cord-cutters and cable subscribers who have run out of room on their DVR and want a simple plug-and-play expansion. Also a fit for anyone running a home theater PC or multimedia setup that needs extra local storage.

Skip it if you need USB 3.0 speeds or portable drives for travel -- this is a dedicated DVR companion, not a general-purpose external drive.

Final Verdict

At $194.78. This is a fair price for a purpose-built DVR expander that does exactly one thing well. If you are hitting recording limits on your current box, this saves you from deleting shows to make space.

No reason to wait unless you catch a steeper drop toward the all-time low.
