I see there are several versions of the 7750 out there from different brands. Does anyone actually know what the real difference is? 😬

Alright, so which one should I go with? I've got about $167 in total, so I need this specifically for gaming

I'll give it a shot if I can find a buyer. I see people on eBay moving them for around 250-$100. Which GPU should I pair it with? So, on top of those $67, I'd be looking at an extra $117
.

I’m currently rocking a GeForce 4650 with 1GB of DDR2. I want to upgrade to something beefier, ideally through a trade-in if anyone is interested. I can put up about $117 on top of my current card. Any recommendations?

What’s the going rate for an old 4650 with 1GB of DDR2?

I’m not sure what needs explaining or "backing up" here. This is just a blatant case of people ignoring the forum rules whenever it suits them—or whenever there's something in it for them. It should be obvious to everyone on this board. ☕

I expect a detailed response and a full explanation regarding steelorca2's post. 🙂

I can't vouch for those Samsung drives. Verbatim is junk, and Seagate is overpriced for a cheap plastic shell.

Fair enough. Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably grab one of those two options. Still need to look into how reliable Western Digital drives actually are.

Benjamin King2 said:That’s an option, though you might find Western Digital offers a shorter warranty.

I get that, but I lease them a storefront, so maybe there's room to negotiate. 😁What’s your take on the actual build quality? Is it any good? Also, can I run 3.0 gear on older computers or TVs that only support 2.0? I assume they'll just be slower, right?

Honestly, if you're just watching movies, speed doesn't really matter. Even a cheap USB 2.0 drive will handle playback without breaking a sweat.

What do you think about these two? http://www.amazon.com/product-link-1 and http://www.amazon.com/product-link-2

Hey,

I'm looking at picking up an external hard drive somewhere around $167. I need something with decent speed, mostly because I plan on plugging it directly into my TV to watch movies. The TV is an Apple 40-inch model. Honestly, I have no clue what specs I should be hunting for in the description to ensure the data transfer stays fast enough.

The movie is top-tier.🙏

To me, it’s got plenty of horror elements. Just because it doesn't rely on cheap jump scares doesn't mean it isn't a horror film. Atmosphere is what actually matters.
