Hey everyone. Who all here knows anything about, or owns an external hard drive? I'm looking to back up a lot of stuff on my laptop before I send it in for a repair. I would like to get all of my pictures, some files, and all my music (for my Microsoft Zune) off of my computer. Does anyone have external drives they would recommend? I'm not looking to spend a large ammount and anything at 100 gigs should be plenty adequate. I'm a newb in this area and would like to hear your opinions! Thanks!

i use newegg for almost all my computer needs, great place to buy. western digital is my choice in HD, but i would stay away from the 250+ drives, I just dont trust them yet (my opinion.) I went with quad 120 sata drives in a raid 5. enough space for me, the more stuff you have on one disk the more you lose if that one disk fails. and even if its under warente you wont get your data back.
whats it going in for? whats wrong? can you just take your hd out and hold onto it? side note, I have a 60gig WD external drive, got if from my dad, its gata be 3+ years old, runs like a champ when needed. This post has been edited by creis: Aug 14, 2007 - 12:29 AM --------------------  |
