I bought a multimedia hard drive 3 years ago. For the price of about 180€ there was the Me 600HDMM multimedia hard drive in the online trade. In the meantime, it should also be cheaper.

I can only recommend this hard drive. It offers a very high storage capacity. The USB port makes it easy to connect to the PC and use it like a normal hard drive. It reproduces pretty much all common formats. Due to the many connection options, it can be connected to TV and also with an intermediate amplifier, which enables a super cinema feel at home.All possible connection cables are already on the hard drive. So you don’t need to buy anything extra. It doesn’t really need an attitude on TV either. Simply plug in, select the TV input source and you can choose the desired folder with the movie, music… like on PC. The navigation is via the simple supplied remote control. The playback speed and quality is great. Personally, I also use the hard drive for data backup. Due to the above-mentioned high capacity, this offers itself. The only shortcoming, the fan is not the most diverse. But that really doesn’t bother much.
Also included is a short easy-to-understand manual, which makes the understanding and handling of the hard disk quickly possible.
Conclusion
Super multimedia hard drive with super price-performance ratio, which you can just recommend. Very many connections and pretty much all common formats make the hard drive a super usable storage medium for movies, music and personal data.
