External Hard-Drives

[Fresh Tendrils]

Instead of having a majority of my music on my computer's hard-drive, I'd like to look into purchasing an external hard-drive to store all of my music on. I would like something that is compact and doesn't make a lot of noise especially since I like to listen to music on the computer a lot. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm not sure how many gigs hard-drives start at, but I wouldn't need anything larger than 80 or 120 for now.

Not sure how much your looking to spend, this looks like a great price though.

I bought this one off ebay and love it: http://cgi.ebay.com/EXTERNAL-USB-2-0...QQcmdZViewItem


I would check ebay or tigerdirect.com for some good deals.

Thanks, I'll check Tiger Direct when I'm ready to actually buy one. I don't want to spend more than $100 and I'm certain anything more than 200GB will be a waste.

Well I just bought an external enclosure kit for my internal drive. It works just as good, popped the USB cord into my tower and I'm ready to go. It was $45 I think at CompUSA and I haven't had any type of trouble in four months of using it.

I got a Seagate, this damn thing is nice. Keeps those downloads in a secure place.

Re: External Hard-Drives

I would get a internal and build a case for it... you get more space for your buck.
