External HDD Portable

There are two options for an external hard drive, 2.5" and 3.5". 3.5" are essentially the desktop hdds enclosed in a casing, they typically have 7200 rpm speed, while 2.5" are laptop hdds and typically have 5400 rpm speeds.

The advantage of going for 2.5" hdd is they are usb powered so you dont need an external power cable to use them. Also it makes them ideal to use along with a laptop on the go.

There are many brands available, i'll list out a few.

Apart from this one can also get a decent hdd case like transcend and get an hdd of your choice installed in it.

Logitech G25 Racing Wheel

I have been a logitech gaming products fan ever since i bought my first joystick, followed by a game pad and then a Momo Racing wheel. But this stuff is different.
It shouts out the quality and craftmenship.

Real metal. Real leather. Real racing. Premium materials. Hand-crafted components. A team of racing fanatics dedicated to providing the most realistic driving experience possible. With the G25 Racing Wheel, Logitech is taking sim racing controls to the next level. The G25's dual-motor force feedback transmission delivers powerful, high-fidelity force effects to the hand-stitched leather wheel, so you can feel under-and oversteer before you're on the barrier.

The 11" leather-wrapped steering wheel with the 900-degree wheel rotation and hand-stitched leather, provides a realistic driving experience.

Stainless steel gas, brake, and clutch pedals eliminates flex from the pedals, so you can brake and accelerate with more precision. The clutch pedal makes heel-and-toe downshifting possible, keeping your gear changes quick and your RPMs high.


Six-speed shifter with push-down reverse gear to choose exactly the right gear for the turn. Plus a leather-wrapped shift knob so you can drive in style! Also there is a Sequential shift mode that provides backward compatibility.
