A tale of 2 external hard drives

[Howzit]

Another unnamed poster (it was jk) and I have both made external hard drive purchases for our home computing needs.

Mine is kind of greenish. Kind of.

I don't know what color his is, but it is obviously not kind of greenish. Because mine is.

Who made the superior purchase?



Although this is not a public poll, I will be able to tell who voted for who because Beano loves me.




And there is spek at stake.









Lots. of. it.

[Howzit]

DEER LOWERED YOU PEOPLE!!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?

[SoonerGirl06]

I'm still getting over the greenish external hard drive.

Sounds like a serious problem to me. I'm just sayin'....

[Howzit]

It's clearly superior to jk's though.





right?

[jk the sooner fan]

ok, mine is a seagate freeagent 250gb.......and its black and all sleek looking, and has a yellowish to greenish looking light to let me know its on

VOTE FOR ME!

[Howzit]

LIAR!! MINE HAS A LIGHT!!!

[jk the sooner fan]

did i mention mine is black

and really hot

[Howzit]

Does it's milkshake bring all the boys to the yard?

I bet not.

[OUHOMER]

unless Howzit's is made by John Deere JK wins

[SoonerGirl06]

Yes, but who has the bigger spek?

[jk the sooner fan]

i think howzit has sponsor spek

[King Crimson]

i bought a Western Digital 250 gig Mybook for 100$ last week and got a 2 gig flashdrive with a coupon.

KC is your write in vote.

what i'm not seeing in this thread is pricing. if you want roll smack about the consumer jungle, let's see the numbers.

[jk the sooner fan]

99 bucks for 250 gb

[King Crimson]

OK, OK.

apparently about a month ago Staples had a 500 gig drive coupon for 120 or something.

[SoonerGirl06]

Okay... I voted. But no neg spek from the other guy...

It was a hard choice, but I had to go with the sleek version.

[jk the sooner fan]

this would be a time when beano should screw with a poll

give me like a gazillion votes and howzit only gets 3

[Howzit]

99 bucks for 250 gb
HA!

$50 for 160 GB.

Plus it's kind of green. Kind of.

[Howzit]

I just ran up to make a banana purchase for the upcoming week.

They were yellow. Definitely yellow.

[Howzit]

OK, OK.

apparently about a month ago Staples had a 500 gig drive coupon for 120 or something.

AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!?!?

[yermom]

yeah, i bought a 500GB WD a few weeks ago for like $125 (newegg.com)

it's black too ;)

[slickdawg]

seagate roolz. period.

[Howzit]

yeah, i bought a 500GB WD a few weeks ago for like $125 (newegg.com)

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/31RDZGEB52L._AA280_.jpg

Yeah, but they don't have one of those stores in Flower Mound.

[King Crimson]

AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!?!?

what would you do with 500 gigs? not even your Rick Wakeman solo collection would fill up that bad boy.

[jk the sooner fan]

mine = BEEYOOTEEFULL

[Howzit]

My Jenna Jameson collection might.

[jk the sooner fan]

ron jeremy probably takes up.......like at least 50gigs

[King Crimson]

i'm gonna vote for JK. howzit is not doing a lot to sell his case. though, yermom is the winner all things being equal.

[Howzit]

You obviously do not know **** about external hard drives.

[King Crimson]

and i vault JK into the lead.....5-4.

[Mixer!]

mine = BEEYOOTEEFULL

http://techgage.com/reviews/seagate/freeagent_pro/seagate_freeagent_02.jpg
waitaminnit... is that black and orange? :stunned:

[Howzit]

and i vault JK into the lead.....5-4.

I'm not worried. When the external hard drive know-er-about-ers check in, the howzit vote turbo will be kicking in.

[Howzit]

waitaminnit... is that black and orange? :stunned:
Exactly.

Vote for me.

[Newbomb Turk]

Seagate > everything else.

jk wins.

[Howzit]

Seagate > everything else.

jk wins.

I take my happy birthday back.

[Newbomb Turk]

I take my happy birthday back.

so you don't want you birthday to have been happy?

[jk the sooner fan]

i know it LOOKS orange in the picture, but i assure you its a snotty yellowish green color

so lets review

sleek and black, with yellowish green light (that appears orange but really isnt) = FULL OF WIN AND STORAGE

howzit......well, just really sad

[Newbomb Turk]

i assure you its a snotty yellowish green color

can I take my vote back and vote for Howzit?

[King Crimson]

uh oh, 79.99.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148233

[jk the sooner fan]

DAMN YOU BEST BUY!!!!!!!!!

in my defense, i had to get something quick in order for the IT guy at work to help me

there wasnt a new egg store close by

[jk the sooner fan]

pffft, well now its just a popularity contest

which i'll clearly win

howzit = NO CHANCE

[Howzit]

so you don't want you birthday to have been happy?

Oh no. Mine was quite pleasurable.

But I take back the hbd wish I extended to you, ergo yours <> teh win.

[Howzit]

I didn't really state in the opening post...I can swim, like, really really far.

I don't even know if jk knows HOW to swim.

[jk the sooner fan]

right, i just use my pool to float

[Howzit]

SEE?!?!?

VOTE FOR ME!!!!

[critical_phil]

heh.


flower mound.

[Mixer!]

It's a tough decision.

This photo does show that it in fact has a nasty yellow color to it:

http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/22-148-233-02.jpg

and yet I feel I owe my vote to Howzit for all the short jokes I've cracked on him this past week in other threads.

Maybe I should ask Mike Rich. or tizwoH. :pop:

[bluedogok]

Gotta go with jk, in hard drives bigger is always better. I have about 1TB of storage at home, I need to get one of those 500gb drives to add to it.

[SoonerGirl06]

SEE?!?!?

VOTE FOR ME!!!!

Show me a picture of your hard drive and maybe I'll change my vote.

Shoot, I'll let you hold it.

[SoonerGirl06]

Hmmm... should I feel honored or frightened?

[leavingthezoo]

Hmmm... should I feel honored or frightened?

don't worry. even if you hold it, you won't know you're holding it. :D

[critical_phil]

for chrissakes.

here come the triathalon pics again........

[SoonerGirl06]

don't worry. even if you hold it, you won't know you're holding it. :D

Yeah... I've heard about guys that brag about their hard drives. There's usually not much to play around with.

[ChickSoonerFan]

So which one is bigger? I don't care what you can do with it, it is the size that matters.

You should see a urologist. That's not natural.

[jk the sooner fan]

mine is bigger

by far

i mean c'mon, its black after all

[Howzit]

I have held back until now, but my hard drive is a Maxtor.

NOW whose is bigger?

[Mixer!]

Is that some sort of contraction of Max Factor?

[OUinFLA]

OUinFLA's external backup device.
It's definitely yellow.

[ChickSoonerFan]

Mine's green. Kind of.

Green?

Lime green?

Lime greenish?

cause THAT might push you ahead, just slightly, over black.

NOW whose is bigger?

wasn't that on He-Man and the Masters of the Universe?

Then yes.

[SoonerGirl06]

Endurance is also important. VERY important.

[OUinFLA]

[slickdawg]

I can go for miles, if you know what I mean.

[jk the sooner fan]

i think its clear who the winner is, 10-9 is a commanding landslide victory

mods, please lock this poll now

[Mongo]

It is funny men have to compensate for their naturally small hard drives by going out and buying products to enhance the size.

I came with a 500 gig.

All natural.

[sooner n houston]

I have to vote for JK in this one, sorry Howzit but the last two Maxtor's I've had have sucked! :D

[jk the sooner fan]

lets summarize this

maxtor sucks

seagate rocks

the vote choice is EASY

jeebus PEOPLE, i should have a much more commanding lead than one vote

[Mongo]

I chose Howzit cause he threatened me

but I am really hoping you win the vote

[jk the sooner fan]

you are weak

moral victories are not sufficient

[Howzit]

I have to vote for JK in this one, sorry Howzit but the last two Maxtor's I've had have sucked! :D

But were they green? Kind of?

[crawfish]

I chose JK because the last time Howzit spekked me, my *** hurt for a week.

[Howzit]

Well, apparently jk's is bigger. Now it's gunna hurt for a month.

[jk the sooner fan]

There. I voted for you, homo.

[jk the sooner fan]

[Howzit]

Ummm...he was talking to you.

[jk the sooner fan]

nuh uh, you

[leavingthezoo]

Ummm...he was talking to you.


nuh uh, you

Well, Maxtor is owned by Seagate now.......so I bet they are pretty much the same hardware with different stickers.

[critical_phil]

You got it. Sweetmeat.

Yes you did. crawfish is salivating like Pavlov's dog.

[NormanPride]

Does the kind of green HD match your fairy hat?

[Howzit]

No, mister shade-of-green-not-******-*******.

First it's an ELF hat. Second it's GREEN. this is kind of green. Kind of.

[ChickSoonerFan]

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3/jessisfarks/simpleshare.jpg

If so then I'm voting for jk because his is a 250GB too and I feel bad for him that he paid $1 more for his. :D
