SSDs are great and all, but if you need a massive amount of storage, you still can't beat the price-per-GB of spinning hard disks. If you have a really big Steam library, you might be interested to hear that Toshiba's 5TB X300 Performance hard drive has dropped to $99.99 on Newegg. That's $10 less than the current Amazon price, and appears to be an all-time low for the drive.

The model in question is a 3.5-inch drive, so it will only fit in desktop PCs, and it operates at a speed of 7,200 RPM. It has a cache of 128MB, and Toshiba estimates it can run for roughly 600,000 hours before failing. If you're curious about real-world testing, it currently has 4/5 eggs on Newegg out of 290 reviews.
