Black Friday is the perfect excuse to fill your basket with cheap storage and the Toshiba MG MG08ACA16TE hard drive is currently the very definition of affordable. Available for $206 at Amazon thanks to a 15% discount, the drive sets a new record at less than $13 per TB, making it a great candidate for our Black Friday HDD deals page.
The Toshiba MG08ACA16TE range provides reliable high-capacity storage with its SATA interface. The drive comes with an industry leading five-year warranty and have been formatted to NTFS.
This device is a 3.5-inch model with nine platters spinning inside at 7200RPM, which makes it perfect for local backup storage if cloud storage is simply too slow. It is geared towards the enterprise market and uses CMR technology (rather than the more controversial SMR one) as well as helium to deliver a cracking HDD.
For extra peace of mind, you can grab a data recovery service from Rescue for under $5 per year (for up to three years).
