If you have a 240gb SSD and want a drive for running backups to and maybe a few large files/games on it but aren't a heavy user, $25 is as cheap as you can get. If you pay $70 and get a 4TB drive... Well you just paid $70 and if you're a light user as described, you just paid $70 and aren't getting really any advantage over the 1TB if you don't use the space.

I know you're happy!
After years of people saying that to you ... you finally get to say it to someone else.
Sorry ... Just too easy to pass up.
Edit: What type of problems are they having with this drive? I've bought 3 in the past and they have been solid.
Back Blaze statistics generally indicate Seagate as having the worst failure rate for their drives.
Choosing between WD and Seagate, WD is preferred, but most Seagate drives have a fairly trouble-free 5-year warranty.
But that may simply indicate practice makes perfect.

I suppose woot has no returns right
Big & like bowls of jello.
Mmmmm jello.
But it boils down to your intended use. If you want to store something for long periods of time and have a backup. A 1 TB HDD is about as reliable as you can find. Under those conditions speed doesn't really matter and purchasing two gives you twice the opportunity to not lose the data.
HGST, Toshiba, Hitachi I have almost always had the best statistics on failures. Western Digital usually falls between them and Seagate. Poor Seagate, poor poor Seagate. Although I fairly recently had the opportunity to take advantage of their 5-year warranty. With minimal issues, they gave me a new (new to me aka refurb) hybrid drive for my PS4.

Even speaking as someone who has had a failed 3TB hard drive, 3TB drives are not "the most problematic", even from Backblaze's own statistics. Seagate brand have the most failure on all of Backblaze's reports while Toshiba, HGST, and Hitachi are few.
If you just need bulk storage then more is better and you can certainly still get inexpensive drives that are going to be better price per tb than this. I picked up a 4tb WD Blue for ~$48 a couple months ago. Yeah the 4tb is SMR and 5400rpm but for bulk storage it does just fine and 4x the storage at 2x the price is a nice deal. Not saying go up to a 10+ TB drive just to get the lowest cost per TB but sub $50 is still very affordable and better values are available there.
I mean I guess if you really can't afford the $30 instead of $25 or you know for certain 250gb isn't enough but 1tb will be plenty for a long time to come I could maybe see it but even then I'd still be looking at figuring out how to make ~$45 for a 500gb SSD work for a system drive if that's enough space or a bigger HD if it's just bulk storage. In the end I'd just be looking for any way to buy anything besides this based on what you really need. System drive - Go SSD it's just so much better. Bulk storage bigger and better cost per TB.
