Today I was out shopping for a new externam hard drive for my desktop. Because I have too many files to be stored, and my internal hard drive doesn't have enough space to keep all of them.
When I got to Best Buy, there were two external hard drive, with the same brand name, same amount of capacity; but different in manufacturer's warranty and price. One is 2 years limited warranty; while the other one is 5 years limited warranty. Also, one is $119.99, and the other is $139.99. Both were made in China. In comparison of other specification, they were closed. Which will you choose?
From my personal opinion, I don't want to spend too much money of course. But I also worry about the quality on this matter. On another consideration, $20 extra dollars give another 3 years of peace of mind, it might be worth it. What would you say about this dilemma decision?

I got mine from newegg online and I bet you can beat both prices there.
best Buy is not always known to be great on any warranty. Gotta have exact paperwork, gotta have it still in stock.... too many variables that they can default on.....

Absolutely you are right my dear to have this worry. Always it is best to have the nicest case to put your hard drive into and sometimes this can cost more money but if you want to make sure you have a nice case you just may need to spend that bit extra. Maybe you could look more and find a nice bag that was not made in China but you may find that costs even more as it could be nicer.
