You should probably look at a different solution for hard drive storage though. Maybe a NAS. I would rather have a 500 GB SSD than a 1TB traditional drive.

$600 budget. With $1800 + NAS (synology with ssd cache ftw or SAN) we'd have a ton of options!
I think we gave him a few good options around the budget and with what he was looking for. Seagate Slim USB 3.0 2TB will run him $80-90 for external that he can carry, and if using a backup, no need for RAID NAS, etc at this level. (Sold a SICK set of SQL Servers with RAID 60 SAS-Drives last month)
1TB SSD was going to eat half his budget (or quarter for a 500GB) if he was comfortable with cloning + swapping drives.
