I've got a lot of pictures and videos on my computer that I need to back-up, so I'd appreciate it if anyone can point towards any good deals on external HDDs (100GB-500GB). Thanks in advance.
320gb Western Digital Scorpio 2.5" hard drive. I'll be swapping this with the 80gb that's currently in my laptop and making a portable drive out of the old one.
regardless of the physical drive size or capacity, it's usually best to buy the drive and enclosure separately. You'll know you're getting a quality hard drive (unless you buy crap), and the enclosure is replaceable if needed.
BB and officemax have sales on the seagate free agent 500 gb- between 89 and 99 with sometime rebates. check them out, I use one and got one for my brother, they work perfect. pretty much plug and play, click and drag everything to them.
