External Hard Drive

[Nuckin]

Which one should I go with?? I have about 30 GB of music I want to move over to external.. Other than that I will prob just be throwing Adobe files on it.. Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver etc..

I like this one, Seagate's are good HD's

I like that one, only thing might be a hassel is it takes two USB ports up. Other than that looks nice.

Thanks 13!

Two USB ports WTF?


I've never seen that!


Screw that!

I would go with this one, $120's not bad for 500gb.

way more storage, one USB, and its 7200 RPM vs 5400 RPM.

Haha yeah that was the only Con, I said the same thing as you, 2 USB WTF???

I saw this 500 gb for $120 yesterday, looks nice! Think I will go with this one.

Thanks Brotha!

Well it's either 2 USB or 1 USB + 1 power cable. 2 USB actually sounds easier to me.

[l3eeron]

Ya, but you're a weirdo Stevo



lol, just kidding!


Why put the demand on your system, plug it into the wall... geez.

Ok that makes sense now.

Think the 500gb for $120 sounds like a better bang for the buck

It probably uses less power than an internal drive. Using the USB power source is more convenient for traveling.

I'd go with the single USB if you aren't going to travel with it. Better yet, if you have an eSATA port, you can get transfer speeds equal to an internal drive if you get an eSATA drive and cable.

Bought the 500 gb just now


edit-
not sure if I have the eSATA port Hopefully the one I just bought will be good for me

Really dont plan on takin it outa the house.. Just want to use it to store my music, pictures and Adobe files...

[l3eeron]

You'll be fine with it.


...Stevo, You know I'm just givin' ya the business, right?
